it is recommended that hikers drink 24 ounces of water an hour. if a canteen has 24 ounces of water how much should the amount of water in the cabteen change every 10 minutes?
To calculate how much the amount of water in the canteen should change every 10 minutes, we need to determine how many 10-minute intervals are in an hour.
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, there will be 6 intervals of 10 minutes in an hour (60 minutes / 10 minutes = 6 intervals).
To distribute the recommended 24 ounces of water evenly over these 6 intervals, we divide it by the number of intervals:
24 ounces / 6 intervals = 4 ounces
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should change by 4 ounces every 10 minutes.
To determine how much the water in the canteen should change every 10 minutes, we can calculate the amount of water that should be consumed in an hour and then convert it to a 10-minute interval.
Based on the given recommendation, hikers should drink 24 ounces of water per hour.
To convert this to a 10-minute interval, we can divide the hourly amount by 6 (60 minutes divided by 10 minutes):
24 ounces per hour ÷ 6 = 4 ounces per 10 minutes.
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by 4 ounces every 10 minutes to meet the recommended hydration level for hikers.
