Question

if a hiker drinks 24 ounces an hour and a canteen has 24 ounces of water how much should thhe amount of water change in the canteen every 10 minutes

Answer 1

If the hiker drinks 24 ounces of water per hour, we can break that down to find out how much water is consumed every 10 minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes, so:
- 24 ounces/hour ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 0.4 ounces/minute.

Now, we can calculate the amount consumed in 10 minutes:
- 0.4 ounces/minute × 10 minutes = 4 ounces.

Thus, after 10 minutes, the amount of water remaining in the canteen would change by:

- Initially, the canteen has 24 ounces.
- After 10 minutes of drinking 4 ounces, the canteen would have:
24 ounces - 4 ounces = 20 ounces.

So, the amount of water in the canteen decreases by 4 ounces every 10 minutes.
