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

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.
