This is actually simpler than it seems.

What you would want to do first is understand military time.

0800 hours is 8am, and every 100 added to this number is equal to one hour, which mean 1300 is equal to 1pm.

That is a 5 hour difference, which means you would want to multiply 125 by 5 since the IV’s infusion is running at 125 ml an hour.

The answer to this is 625 ml used.

We aren’t finished yet though, we need to find how much is left in the IV, so we simply subtract 625 ml to the 1,000 original to the the answer of:

375 mls remaining in the IV bag.

Hope this helps :)))))

The IV bag or intravenous bag is used to administer the fluid intravenously. The amount of fluid present in the IV bag is 625 milliliters.

Given:

Time at which IV starts = 8:00 hr

Rate at which IV is dripping = 125 ml/hr

Final Time given = 13:00 hr

Now,

The drip was initiated at 8:00 a.m., such that:

[tex]\rm Rate &=\rm \dfrac{Volume}{\rm Time}[/tex]

As we know:

Rate = 125 ml/ hr and Time = 13:00 - 8:00 = 5 hrs

Calculating the rate, we get:

[tex]125 &=\dfrac{\rm Volume}{5}[/tex]

[tex]125 \times 5 &= \rm Volume\\\\625 &= \rm Volume[/tex]

Thus, the volume left in the IV bag is 225 ml.
