Help Please Math

100 units in 100ml solution equals 1 unit per 1 ml, therefore your rate would be 12 ml per hour if you want to infuse 12 units of insulin an hour.

Using Ratio and Proportion:

Known ratio: 100 units = 100 mL

Unknown ratio: 12 units = x

Set up ratio and Proportion: 100 units : 100 mL = 12 units : x mL

100 units = 12 units

100 mL x mL

Cross Multiply: 100 units (x) = 12 units (100 mL)

x = 12 mL

(But there isn't any information about the drop factor to calculate drops per minute)

the left margin took over and moved the proportions in the equation

(sorry, but that isn't the way that I set it up)

hope this helps

Thank you all for the help I get it!
