16 gtts / 1 ml = x gtts / 500ml
that will let you find out the total number of drops
30 gtts / 1 min = 8000 gtts / x min
that will tell you how many minutes that it will last then divide by 60 to get the number of hours

1/2NS 0.5L=250ml
IF 16gtt/1ml =THEN Xgtt/250ml>> X=4000gtt
IF 30gtt/1min =THEN 4000gtt/Ymin>> Y=133.3mins
