Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the concentration per ml

The concentration is 25,000 units in 250 ml. So the concentration per ml is $\frac{25000}{250}=100$ units/ml.

Step2: Find the ml per hour

The order is 1950 units/h. Since there are 100 units/ml, then the ml per hour is $\frac{1950}{100}=19.5$ ml/h.
