5. It is recommended that hikers drink 24 ounces of water an hour. If a canteen has 24 ounces of water, how muc
should the amount of water in the canteen change every 10 minutes? (1 point)
The amount of water in the canteen should decrease by 4 ounces every 10 minutes.
To determine how much the amount of water in the canteen should change every 10 minutes, you first need to calculate the amount of water used in 1 hour.
Since it is recommended that hikers drink 24 ounces of water per hour, this means that in 60 minutes, they would consume 24 ounces.
To calculate the amount of water used in 10 minutes, you need to divide 24 ounces by 60 minutes and then multiply that result by 10 minutes. This will give you the amount of water used in 10 minutes.
The calculation is as follows:
(24 ounces / 60 minutes) * 10 minutes = 4 ounces
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should change by 4 ounces every 10 minutes.
To determine how much the amount of water in the canteen should change every 10 minutes, we need to find the rate at which water is consumed.
Given that hikers are recommended to drink 24 ounces of water per hour, we can calculate the amount of water consumed in 10 minutes.
First, we determine the fraction of an hour that 10 minutes represents. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, 10 minutes is 10/60 or 1/6 of an hour.
Next, we multiply the fraction of an hour (1/6) by the recommended amount of water per hour (24 ounces) to find the amount of water consumed in 10 minutes.
(1/6) * 24 ounces = 4 ounces
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by 4 ounces every 10 minutes to account for the recommended hydration rate of hikers.
