Answer 1

30 mL/h

Explanation:

You want the rate 336 ml in 11.2 h as a rate in simplest form.

Unit rate

The rate can be expressed in simplest form in a number of ways. We usually want rates involving time to be expressed with time units in the denominator:

(336 mL) / (11.2 h) = 30 mL/h

Additional comment

Medicine is often prescribed on a "per day" basis. In 24 hours, this rate would be ...

(30 mL/h)×(24 h/day) = 720 mL/day

The machine setup to dispense this medicine might use time units of minutes:

(30 mL/h) / (60 min/h) = (1/2) mL/min
