To find the value decrease per month, we divide the total decrease ($4,000) by the number of months (12).
$4000 / 12 = $333.33
Therefore, the value decreases by approximately $333.33 per month.
$4000 / 12 = $333.33
Therefore, the value decreases by approximately $333.33 per month.

To find the amount of water that should be consumed every 10 minutes, we need to calculate how many 10-minute intervals there are in one hour (which is 60 minutes).
60 minutes / 10 minutes = 6 intervals
Since hikers need to drink 24 ounces of water per hour, and there are 6 intervals of 10 minutes in one hour, the amount of water that should be consumed every 10 minutes is:
24 ounces / 6 intervals = 4 ounces
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by 4 ounces every 10 minutes.
60 minutes / 10 minutes = 6 intervals
Since hikers need to drink 24 ounces of water per hour, and there are 6 intervals of 10 minutes in one hour, the amount of water that should be consumed every 10 minutes is:
24 ounces / 6 intervals = 4 ounces
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by 4 ounces every 10 minutes.
