    Answer: 16.1 ounces per minute

    Step-by-step explanation:

    in 7 days, he painted by 4 hours each day, so we have a total of 28 hours.

    In a hour we have 60 minutes, so we have a total of:

    28*60 = 1680 minutes.

    He used 211 gallons, and knowing that 1 gallon is 128 ounces, then 211 gallons is:

    211*128 ounces = 27,008 ounces.

    Then the ounces dispensed each minute are:

    R = 27,008/1680 ounces per minute = 16.1 ounces per minute
