Okay stupid question here!We had our first math quiz .... I didn't do well and I wanna do well on the next 3 we have! They are only worth 5pts (5 questions a piece) but I got a 1 on the first test. Mostly for not putting on the correct ending (stupid me).But I was wondering if anyone in here had any really easy or cool ideas for remembering the IV drip rate factor formula??? I don't even think I can tell you what it is right now.Thanks in advanceAnnie2005
