Hello, in this question we have a unit conversion problem where we are given the milliliters of medication that the patient needs to receive in a certain number of minutes.
00:17
And we want to convert that to the number of drops per second.
00:31
All right, well, since we have two units to convert, we need to just focus on one at a time.
00:38
So in my first step, i'm going to convert from milliliters to drops.
00:42
So that will give us drops per minute.
00:47
And i can convert from milliliters to drops by using the equality given to us in the problem that tells us there are 60 drops in every milliliter.
01:01
All right, and then to convert to our actual answer, i need to convert the denominator from minutes to seconds.
01:07
Well, we know in one minute, there are 60 seconds.
01:12
Okay, so we have our basic plan here.
01:16
We have our equalities that we're going to use as conversion factors.
01:19
Let's go ahead and put in some numbers and solve for our answer.
01:24
We have 30 milliliters delivered over 40 minutes...
