Question

A 3 kg cat receives fluid at a rate of 10 mL/kg/hour. How many milliliters will it receive in 2.5 hours?

A. 30 mL
B. 175 mL
C. 125 mL
D. 75 mL

Answer 1

The correct answer is D, 75 mL

Explanation:

W=Weight: 3Kg

R=Fluid rate: 10 ml /kg/ hour

T=Time: 2,5 hours

To calculate the milliliters that a cat will receive in 2, 5 hours, we must multiplied the weight of the cat by the rate by the time.

x= W*R*T

x= 3 kg *(10 ml /kg/ hour)* 2,5 hour

x= 75 ml
