Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine the Total Volume to be Infused
The total volume of the solution to be infused is given as \(250 \, \text{mL}\).
Step 2: Determine the Total Time for Infusion
The total time over which the infusion is to occur is given as 6 hours.
Step 3: Calculate the Infusion Rate
To find the infusion rate in \(\text{mL/hr}\), divide the total volume by the total time:
