It is recommended that hiker's drink 24 oz of water an hour if a canteen has 24 oz of water how much should the amount of water in the canteen change every 10 minutes a 4 oz be negative 4 oz see negative 0.4 Oz D 0.4 Oz

Answer 1

If a hiker is recommended to drink 24 ounces of water per hour, we first need to figure out how much water is consumed in 10 minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes

In 10 minutes, the amount of water consumed would be:

\[ \frac{24 \text{ oz}}{60 \text{ min}} \times 10 \text{ min} = 4 \text{ oz} \]

This means that every 10 minutes, the hiker should drink 4 ounces of water from the canteen.

Since the amount of water in the canteen decreases when the hiker drinks, this change in amount should be described as a negative value.

Therefore, the change in the amount of water in the canteen every 10 minutes is -4 oz.

So, the correct answer is B) -4 oz.
