To determine how much the amount of water in the canteen should change every 10 minutes, we can calculate the proportion of water that should be consumed in an hour and then convert it to a 10-minute interval.

Given that hikers are recommended to drink 24 ounces of water per hour, we can start by finding out how many ounces of water should be consumed every 10 minutes.

Step 1: Calculate the proportion of water to consume in 1 minute.
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can divide 24 ounces by 60 to get the amount of water to consume in 1 minute.

24 ounces ÷ 60 minutes = 0.4 ounces

Step 2: Calculate the amount of water to consume every 10 minutes.
Multiply the amount of water to consume in 1 minute by the number of 10-minute intervals in an hour (which is 6).

0.4 ounces × 6 = 2.4 ounces

Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by 2.4 ounces every 10 minutes in order to meet the recommended rate of drinking 24 ounces per hour.

Looking at the options provided, the correct answer is:
-2.4 ounces (which is not listed among the options)
