b. How many hours will it take for the bag to finish?

c. At what time will the bag finish?

Answer 1

A). If nurse walks at 1230 hours, then the nurse should except the fluid level to be 655 ml.. Because the flow rate is 115 ml / hrs.. So from starting 0930 it would take 3 hours to reach the asked time.. When we deduct the three time of 115 ml from 1000 ml we will get the answer of 655 ml.
