A 3 kg cat receives fluid at a rate of 10 mL/kg/hour. How many milliliters will it receive in 2.5 hours?

A. 30 mL

B. 175 mL

C. 125 mL

D. 75 mL

The correct answer is D, 75 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

W=Weight: 3Kg

R=Fluid rate: 10 ml / kg / hour

T=Time: 2,5 hours

To calculate the milliliters that a cat will receive in 2, 5 hours, we must multiplied the weight of the cat by the rate by the time.

x = W*R*T

x = 3 kg * (10 ml / kg / hour) * 2,5 hour

x = 75 ml
