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?
To determine the amount of water in the canteen that should be consumed every 10 minutes, divide the recommended water consumption (24 ounces) by the number of minutes in an hour (60 minutes).
Change in water amount per minute = 24 ounces / 60 minutes = 0.4 ounces
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should change by 0.4 ounces every 10 minutes.
To determine how much the amount of water in the canteen should change every 10 minutes, we need to calculate how much water is consumed per hour by dividing the recommended amount per hour by 60 minutes.
Recommended amount of water per hour: 24 ounces
Amount of water consumed per minute: 24 ounces / 60 minutes = 0.4 ounces
Given that 10 minutes have passed, we can determine the amount of water that should be consumed during this time by multiplying the consumption per minute by the number of minutes.
Amount of water consumed in 10 minutes: 0.4 ounces * 10 minutes = 4 ounces
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by 4 ounces every 10 minutes.
