Solution

Determining the amount of solution required in liters:
Given that the patient needs $3 c c / m i n$ for $24$ hours.
We know that $1 c c = 1 m L$
Therefore, converting we have,
$3 m L / m i n$
In $24$ hours, we have $24 \times 60 = 1440 mins$ , therefore the total solution required would be,
$=$ $3 m L / m i n \times 1440 m i n$
$=$ $4320 m L$
$= 4.32 L [∵ 1 L = 1000 m L]$
Thus, the amount of solution required in liters is $4.32 L$ .
