The amount of water in the canteen should change by 0.4 ounces every 10 minutes.
To calculate the amount of water in the canteen that should change every 10 minutes, we need to divide the recommended amount of water per hour by 6 to get the amount per 10 minutes.
24 ounces per hour / 6 = 4 ounces per 10 minutes
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should change by 4 ounces every 10 minutes.
