It is recommended that hikers drink 24 ounces of water an hour if it canteen has 24 ounces of water how much should the amount of water in the canteen change every 10 minutes?
To determine how much the amount of water in the canteen should change every 10 minutes, we need to calculate the hourly rate of water consumption and then divide it by 6 (since there are 6 ten-minute intervals in an hour).
The recommended rate is 24 ounces of water per hour.
To convert this to ounces per 10 minutes, we divide by 6: 24 ounces/hour / 6 intervals = 4 ounces/interval.
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by 4 ounces every 10 minutes.
To determine the change in the amount of water in the canteen every 10 minutes, we need to convert the recommended hourly rate to a rate per 10 minutes.
The recommendation is to drink 24 ounces of water per hour. To calculate the rate per 10 minutes, we use the formula:
Rate per 10 minutes = (Amount per hour ÷ 60) × 10
Plugging in the given amount per hour (24 ounces) into the formula:
Rate per 10 minutes = (24 ÷ 60) × 10
= 0.4 × 10
= 4 ounces
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by 4 ounces every 10 minutes to maintain the recommended hydration rate while hiking.
To determine how much the amount of water in the canteen should change every 10 minutes, we can calculate the average amount of water consumed per minute and then multiply it by 10.
Since hikers are recommended to drink 24 ounces of water per hour, we need to find the average amount of water consumed per minute. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the average amount of water consumed per minute is 24 ounces divided by 60 minutes, which equals 0.4 ounces.
To find how much the amount of water in the canteen should change every 10 minutes, we multiply the average consumption rate per minute (0.4 ounces) by 10 minutes.
0.4 ounces/minute * 10 minutes = 4 ounces
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by 4 ounces every 10 minutes to maintain the recommended consumption rate for hikers.
