Question

An IV of 550 mL infused in 940 minutes. The IV infused at ______ mL/hr. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places if necessary.

Answer 1

To find out the unit rate in mL/h

Divide the total milliliters by the total time in hours

Remember that

1 hour=60 minute

so

940 minutes=940/60=47/3 hours

therefore

`550/(47)/(3)=(550*3)/(47)=35.11\text{ ml/h}`

The answer is 35.11 ml/h
