How many hours will it take to finish the infusion at the current rate?

20 hours

10 hours

15 hours

75 hours

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

To calculate the time it will take to finish the infusion, we can use the formula:

Time = Volume / Rate

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Time = 1.5 L / 75 mL/hr Converting 1.5 L to mL, we get:

Time = 1500 mL / 75 mL/hr Simplifying, we get:

Time = 20 hours

Therefore, it will take 20 hours to finish the infusion at the current rate.
