you didn't have the rationale? I tried every way I could and still don't get that answer. Maybe because I just woke up :p

One question what is 15 gtt ml? did u mean 15gtt/min or hr. Because I have never seen 15 gtt ml

Sorry.

ok got it.

125+75+50+10 is the volume=260

ml * drops/ 60

260*15/60=65ml

Hope this helps. If not let me know I will try again.
