Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

The formula for calculating the infusion rate (ml per hour) is \( \text{Infusion Rate}=\frac{\text{Volume (ml)}}{\text{Time (hours)}} \)

Step2: Substitute the values

Here, the volume \( V = 100\) ml and the time \( t=1\) hour.
Substituting into the formula: \( \text{Infusion Rate}=\frac{100}{1}=100\) ml per hour

Answer:

\(100\)
