To convert 4 pints per second to cups per minute, you can use the following conversions:
1 pint = 2 cups
1 minute = 60 seconds
Now, let's do the conversion step by step:
-
Convert pints to cups: \[ 4 \text{ pints} \times 2 \text{ cups/pint} = 8 \text{ cups} \]
-
Convert seconds to minutes: Since we want cups per minute and we have per second, we multiply the cups by the number of seconds in a minute: \[ 8 \text{ cups/second} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 480 \text{ cups/minute} \]
Therefore, the equivalent rate is: \[ 4 \text{ pints/second} = 480 \text{ cups/minute} \]
