A hose fills a tub at a rate of 4 ounces per minute. How many pints per hour will the hose fill the tub?

Question

16 ounces = 1 pint

60 minutes = 1 hour

(1 point)

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate how many ounces the hose can fill in an hour:

4 ounces per minute x 60 minutes = 240 ounces per hour

Next, we need to convert the ounces to pints:

240 ounces / 16 ounces per pint = 15 pints per hour

Therefore, the hose will fill the tub at a rate of 15 pints per hour.
