Solution Steps

Step 1: Convert the total volume to milliliters

The total volume to be infused is 1 liter (L). Since 1 L = 1000 milliliters (ml), the total volume is: 1L=1000ml. 1 \, \text{L} = 1000 \, \text{ml}.

Step 2: Calculate the infusion time

The infusion rate is given as 50ml/hour50 \, \text{ml/hour}. To find the infusion time, divide the total volume by the infusion rate: Infusion Time=Total VolumeInfusion Rate=1000ml50ml/hour. \text{Infusion Time} = \frac{\text{Total Volume}}{\text{Infusion Rate}} = \frac{1000 \, \text{ml}}{50 \, \text{ml/hour}}.

Step 3: Simplify the calculation

Infusion Time=100050=20hours. \text{Infusion Time} = \frac{1000}{50} = 20 \, \text{hours}.

Final Answer

The infusion time is 20hours\boxed{20 \, \text{hours}}.
