The rate at which the amount of water in the canteen decreases can be calculated by finding the change in ounces per hour and then converting it to ounces per minute.
There are 24 ounces of water in the canteen, and hikers are recommended to drink 24 ounces of water per hour. This means that the change in ounces per hour is 24 ounces.
To convert to ounces per minute, divide the change in ounces per hour by the number of minutes in an hour:
24 ounces/hour รท 60 minutes/hour = 0.4 ounces/minute.
Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by approximately 0.4 ounces every 10 minutes.
The correct option is: A) 0.4.
If the canteen has 24 ounces of water and hikers are recommended to drink 24 ounces of water per hour, then the amount of water in the canteen should decrease by approximately 4 ounces every 10 minutes.. A: 0.4 b: -4 c: 4 d: -0.4
