A) $\frac { 1 } { 3 } \text { hours }$
B) $3 \frac { 1 } { 3 } \text { hours }$
C) $4 \frac { 1 } { 3 } \text { hours }$
D) $7 \frac { 1 } { 3 } \text { hours }$
E) $2 \frac { 1 } { 3 } \text { hours }$

To find the total amount of time, we need to convert the volume from mL to drops using the drop factor.
780 mL x 10 drops/mL = 7800 drops
Then, we can use the formula:
total time = total drops ÷ flow rate
total time = 7800 drops ÷ (30 drops/min x 60 min/hour)
total time = 7800 drops ÷ 1800 drops/hour
total time = 4.333 hours
Therefore, the answer is C) 4 1/3 hours.
