To find out how many pints per hour the hose will fill the tub, we need to convert the rate of filling from ounces per minute to pints per hour.
First, let's convert the ounces to pints. We know that 16 ounces equals 1 pint. So, the rate of filling becomes 4 ounces/minute x 1 pint/16 ounces = 0.25 pints/minute.
Next, let's convert the minutes to hours. We know that 60 minutes equals 1 hour. So, the rate of filling becomes 0.25 pints/minute x 60 minutes/hour = 15 pints/hour.
Therefore, the hose will fill the tub at a rate of 15 pints per hour.
A hose fills a tub at a rate of 4 ounces per minute. How many pints per hour will the hose fill the tub?
