1unit= 1000mu

60min = 1 hr

1 unit÷ 1000 mu = 1

60 min÷ 1 hr=1

2mu/ min= 1u/1000 mu= 60 min/1 hr= 1000 ml/ 30u

(2mu/ min is the initial rate .

2mu = 1 u/ 1000 mu

Min= 60min/hr)

Cancel mu, min, and unit from both up and down side. Cancel both 1000 from top and bottom.

Divide 60÷ 30 = 2

2× 2 =4 ml/hr

Initially 4 ml/hr @ 5

@5:30 , 4+4 = 8ml/ hr

@6:35, 4 × 4 = 16 ml/ hr( 4+4+4+4=16 every 30 min 4ml to be increased.)
