Question

If 4.8 mL of reconstituted solution is required for each day and the flow rate is 300 mL/hr, how many hours can the provided solution last?

A) 0.02 hours
B) 16 hours
C) 4.8 hours
D) 14.4 hours

Answer 1

To find the number of hours the provided solution can last, divide the total volume of the solution by the flow rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of hours the provided solution can last, we need to calculate the total volume of the solution and divide it by the flow rate. The provided solution is 4.8 mL per day. In order to convert mL to L, we divide by 1000. So, the total volume of the solution is 4.8 L per day. The flow rate is given as 300 mL/hr. To find the number of hours the solution can last, we divide the total volume of the solution (4.8 L) by the flow rate (300 mL/hr):

4.8 L / (300 mL/hr) = 0.016 hr

Therefore, the answer is A) 0.02 hours.
