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 canteen change every 10 minutes
In 1 hour, there are 60 minutes. If hikers are recommended to drink 24 ounces of water every hour, they should ideally drink 24/60 = 0.4 ounces of water every minute.
So, in 10 minutes, they should drink 0.4 * 10 = <<0.4*10=4>>4 ounces of water.
Therefore, 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, we need to calculate the rate at which water is consumed.
Since it is recommended that hikers drink 24 ounces of water per hour, we can convert this to minutes by dividing by 60: 24 ounces/hour ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 0.4 ounces/minute.
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should change by 0.4 ounces every 10 minutes.
