    How many drops per minute?

    There are 16 drops per ML.

    1000 ML = 1 L.

    1L = 1000 ML

    Therefore 1.08 L = 1.08 * 1000 = 1080 ML

    16 drops per ML means I ML has 16 drops.

    Therefore 1080 ML has: (1080 * 16) drops.

    Number of drops per min:

    Since the entire process took 3 hours = 3 * 60 minutes = 180 minutes.

    Therefore Number of drops per minute = Number of Drops / Time in minutes

    = (1080 * 16) / (180)

    = 96 drops per minute.
