From Wikipedia (the Internet encyclopedia) article Fluid ounce :



    A fluid ounce (abbreviated fl oz, fl. oz. or oz. fl.) is a unit of volume typically used for measuring liquids.

    A US fluid ounce is  ​1⁄128  of a US liquid gallon.



So, 1 oz = 1%2F128 of a gallon.


Hence,  15 oz =  15%2F128 of a gallon.


15 oz per minute = 15%2F128 of a gallon per minute = %2860%2A15%29%2F128 gallons per hour = 900%2F128 gal/h = 225%2F32 gal/h = 71%2F32 gal/h = 7.03125 gal/h.


ANSWER.  The flow rate of 15 oz/min is the same as the flow rate of 225%2F32 gal/h = 71%2F32 gal/h = 7.03125 gal/h.
