Answer #1

ANSWER.

* Calculation of flow rate in mL / hr.

        Formula.

          * Flow rate = Volume (ml) / Time (hr).

                      Volume (ml) = 250 mL.

                     Time = 45 minutes.

               Flow rate calculated in ml/hr so convert 45 min to hours

                             Time (hr) = 45min / 60min

                                             = 0.75 hr.

          As per formula

                   Flow rate (ml/hr) = 250 / 0.75

                                                = 333.3 mL/ hr.
