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?(1 point)
To calculate how much the amount of water in the canteen should change every 10 minutes, you need to determine the proportion of water consumed over an hour.
Step 1: Calculate the amount of water consumed in 1 hour:
24 ounces/hour
Step 2: Divide the amount of water consumed in 1 hour by 6 to get the amount of water consumed every 10 minutes:
24 ounces/hour ÷ 6 = 4 ounces/10 minutes
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by 4 ounces every 10 minutes to meet the recommended consumption rate of 24 ounces per hour for hikers.
To find out how much the amount of water in the canteen should change every 10 minutes, we need to divide the recommended amount of water hikers should drink in an hour (24 ounces) by the number of minutes in an hour.
First, let's convert the number of minutes in an hour. There are 60 minutes in an hour.
So, 24 ounces ÷ 60 minutes = 0.4 ounces of water per minute.
Now, we want to find out how much the amount of water in the canteen should change every 10 minutes. To do that, we multiply the amount of water per minute by the number of minutes we're interested in (10 minutes).
0.4 ounces/minute × 10 minutes = 4 ounces.
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should change by 4 ounces every 10 minutes.
