ANSWER.

* Calculation of ml/hr.

      Formula

          ml/hr = Total volume /Time

    Here

        Total volume = 1500 ml.

             Time = 24 hrs.

As per above formula

        ml/hr = 1500 / 24

                 = 62.5 ml/hr.

* Calculation of gtt/min.

       Formula

          gtt/min = Volume(ml) /Time(min)* Drop factor(gtt/ml).

Here

       Volume = 125 ml.

        Time = 60 min (1 hr).

       Drop factor = 20 gtt/ml.

As per above formula

    gtt/min = 125 / 60 * 20

                 = 2.08 * 20

               = 41.66 gtt/min.

* Calculation of gtt/min.

       Formula

             gtt/min = Volume /Time * Drop factor.

    Here

        Volume = 100 ml.

        Time = 120 min(2 hrs).

        Drop factor = 60 gtt/ml (microdrip).

As per above formula

        gtt/min = 100 / 120 * 60

                    = 0.83 * 60

                    = 49.8

                    = 50 gtt/min.

* Calculation of gtt/min.

        Formula

            gtt/min = Volume/Time * Drop factor.

   Here

         Volume = 25 ml.

         Time = 60 min (1hr).

         Drop factor = 60 gtt/ml (microdrip).

As per above formula

   gtt/min = 25 / 60 * 60

                 = 0.42 * 60

                 = 25.2

                 = 25 gtt/min.

* Calculation of ml/hr.

        Formula

             ml/hr = Total volume /Time.

    Here

         Volume = 500 ml.

          Time = 480 min(8 hr).

   As per above formula

        ml/hr = 500 / 480

                 = 1.04 ml/hr.

* Calculation of gtt/min.

      Formula

           gtt/min = Volume / Time * Drop factor.

    Here

         Volume = 100 ml.

         Time = 30 min

         Drop factor = 60 gtt/ml(microdrip).

   As per above formula

             gtt/min = 100 / 30 * 60

                         = 3.33 * 60

                         = 199.8

                         = 200 gtt/min.

* Calculation of ml/hr.

        Formula

            ml/hr = Volume /Time.

    Here

       Volume = 2000 ml (2L).

        Time = 24 hr.

   As per above formula

       ml/hr = 2000 / 24

                = 83.33 ml/hr.
