The Answer is a.

\frac{20 x}{90} imes 500=\frac{10,000}{90}=111 \mathrm{gtt}

per

\min

b.

500 \mathrm{~mL}: 90 \mathrm{~min}=x \mathrm{~mL}: 60 \mathrm{~min}

90 x=500 imes 60=30,000

90 x=30,000

x=333.33=333 \mathrm{~mL}

per hr for

500 \mathrm{~mL}

to infuse in

90 \mathrm{~min}

using an electronic device

Proof

500 imes 60=30,000

\quad

\quad

90 imes 333.3=29,997
