Answer 1

6. SOLUTION

3.5 mg per 30 minutes is irrelevant as we have to calculate ml/hr.

Therefore, only take into consideration the infusion of 100 ml over 30 minutes.

So, 100 ml / 30 minute * 60 minute / 1 hour =200 ml per hour (minutes in denominator and numerator is cut off).

Therefore 200 ml per hour is the hourly rate.
