Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the remaining volume to infuse

The total volume is \(1400\) mL and \(800\) mL has already infused. So the remaining volume \(V = 1400 - 800=600\) mL.

Step2: Calculate the time required to infuse the remaining volume

The infusion rate \(r = 100\) mL/h. Using the formula \(t=\frac{V}{r}\), where \(V\) is volume and \(r\) is rate. Substitute \(V = 600\) mL and \(r = 100\) mL/h. So \(t=\frac{600}{100}=6\) hours.

Assume the current time is \(0\) (for simplicity of calculation, since no start - time is given in the problem, we just calculate the number of hours from an arbitrary start). In 24 - hour clock, if we start at \(0\) (midnight), after \(6\) hours, the time is \(0 + 6=6:00\)

Answer:

\(6:00\)
