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 find out how much the amount of water in the canteen should change every 10 minutes, we need to determine the amount of water hikers should consume in 10 minutes.
Since it is recommended that hikers drink 24 ounces of water per hour, we can calculate the amount of water they should drink in 10 minutes by dividing 24 ounces by 60 minutes and then multiplying the result by 10 minutes:
(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 calculate the amount of water that should be consumed every 10 minutes, we need to determine the equivalent amount of water in 10 minutes.
Given that hikers are recommended to drink 24 ounces of water per hour, we can calculate the amount of water consumed in 10 minutes by dividing 24 by 6 (10 minutes is 1/6th of an hour):
24 ounces / 6 = 4 ounces
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by 4 ounces every 10 minutes.
To determine the amount of water that should be consumed every 10 minutes, we need to calculate the proportion of water consumed per hour and then convert it to 10 minutes.
First, let's calculate the amount of water consumed per hour:
If hikers are recommended to drink 24 ounces of water per hour, we can conclude that they should consume 24/60 ounces of water every minute.
Now, let's convert this to the amount of water consumed in 10 minutes:
To find out how much water should be consumed in 10 minutes, we need to multiply the amount consumed per minute by 10.
Therefore, the amount of water that should be consumed every 10 minutes is (24/60) * 10 ounces.
Simplifying the equation, we get:
(24/60) * 10 = 4 ounces.
So, the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by 4 ounces every 10 minutes in order to meet the recommended consumption rate.
