Expert Solution

Calculation of ml/hr.

ml/hr = Volume(ml)/Time(hr).

Calculation of volume(ml).

Volume(ml) = Desired dose/Dose in hand * Quantity.

Here

Desired dose = 5 units.

Dose in hand = 100 units.

Quantity = 100 ml.

As per above formula

Volume(ml) = 5/100 * 100

= 0.05 * 100

= 5 ml.

Time(hr) = 1 hr

ml/hr = 5 ml/hr.
