Question 1144442: A 31% dextrous solution (31 mg per 100 mL of solution) is given intravenously. Suppose a total of 1.038 L of the solution is given over a 6-hour period.
a. What is the flow rate in units of mL/hr?
b. If each mL contains 13 drops (the drop factor is expressed as 13 gtt/mL), what is the flow rate in units of gtt/hr?
c. During the 6-hour period, how much dextrous is delivered?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
In your post, replace "dextrous" by "dextrose" at EVERY OCCURRENCE to avoid nonsense (!)
(a) To find flow rate, divide the given volume by the given time:
floe rate =  liter per hour (L/h). (1)
Then convert it into mL per hour. The base for conversion is 1 Liter = 1000 mL.
(b) To find flow rate in drops per hour, take your value from (a) of milliliters per hour and multiply it by the factor 13.
(c) OBVIOUSLY, the answer is 0.31*1.038 kilograms = 0.31*1038 grams.

I am in fear.
The problem goes with the terms related to medicine,
but the author is absolutely unfamiliar with special terminology in the area (?) (!)
Who are you, the author ?
