Doctors use intravenous (IV) drips to deliver fluids and medications to patients. Suppose an IV drip starts with 1,000 ml of saline and dispenses fluid at a rate of 3.5 ml per minute.
- Write an equation for this situation using F to represent the amount of fluid (saline solution) left in milliliters and t to represent the time in minutes. Hint: If you have trouble writing a model, try making a table first.
- Is this a linear model?
Explain your answer. - How long will it take to use all of the saline solution? Give you answer in hours and minutes.
hours and minutes - Which of the following can be used to describe the point you found in Part (c)?
