Answer #1

ANSWER.

* Calculation of flow rate.

       Flow rate(ml/hr) = Volume(ml)/Time(hr).

Here

    Volume = 5 L.

Convert L to ml for calculation

     1 l = 1000 ml.

So

     Volume(ml) = 5 * 1000

                        = 5000 ml.

     Time = 12 hr.

As per above formula

         Flow rate(ml/hr) = 5000/12

                                   = 416.6 ml/hr.
