Short Answer

Expert verified

IV flow rate of the patient is 31.25

Step by step solution

01

- Order for simplification 

To evaluate any expression involving more than one operation, follow the below order of operations:

  • First evaluate expressions inside grouping symbols like parentheses ( ) or brackets [ ].
  • Evaluate the exponents.
  • Perform Multiplication and division from left to right.
  • Perform addition and subtraction from left to right.
02

- Simplify numerator and denominator

To evaluate the value of the given expression, first simplify the expression of numerator and denominator as shown below

1500×1512×60=22500720

03

- Divide 22500 by 720

Now, to simplify further divide the numbers to get

22500720=31.25

Thus, IV flow rate of the patient is 31.25
