Question

1. a faucet is running water at the rate of one - half pint every minute. what is this flow rate expressed in pints per hour?
2. a neonate weighs 4 pounds and 6 ounces. express the weight of this baby in ounces.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert minutes to hours for Q9

We know 1 hour = 60 minutes. Multiply the per-minute rate by 60.
$\frac{1}{2} \text{ pint/min} \times 60 \text{ min/hour}$

Step2: Calculate hourly flow rate for Q9

Perform the multiplication.
$\frac{1}{2} \times 60 = 30$

Step3: Convert pounds to ounces for Q10

We know 1 pound = 16 ounces. Calculate ounces from pounds.
$4 \text{ pounds} \times 16 \text{ ounces/pound} = 64 \text{ ounces}$

Step4: Add remaining ounces for Q10

Add the 6 ounces to the converted value.
$64 + 6 = 70$

Answer:

1. 30 pints per hour
2. 70 ounces
