The amount of water in the canteen should change by 0.4 ounces every 10 minutes.
To figure out how much the amount of water in the canteen should change every 10 minutes, we first need to determine how many 10-minute intervals are in an hour. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so that means 60/10 = 6 ten-minute intervals in an hour.
Since it is recommended that hikers drink 24 ounces of water per hour, we can divide 24 by the number of ten-minute intervals in an hour (which is 6).
Therefore, 24/6 = 4 ounces.
So, the amount of water in the canteen should change by 4 ounces every 10 minutes.
