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 answer

In 1 hour, there are 60 minutes. If hikers are recommended to drink 24 ounces of water every hour, they should ideally drink 24/60 = 0.4 ounces of water every minute.
So, in 10 minutes, they should drink 0.4 * 10 = <<0.4*10=4>>4 ounces of water.

Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by 4 ounces every 10 minutes.
