submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Convert hours to minutes

$21 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ min/hour} = 1260 \text{ min}$

Step2: Calculate drip rate

$\text{Drip rate} = \frac{990 \text{ mL} \times 20 \text{ gtt/mL}}{1260 \text{ min}} \approx 15.71$

Step3: Round to whole number

$15.71 \approx 16$

Answer:

16
