Answer to Question 1

30 drops per minute. Microdrip tubing (60 drops per mL) delivers the same number of drops per minutes as mL per hr.

Answer to Question 2

Microdrip tubing has smaller diameter and delivers smaller drops (60 drops per mL). Macrodrip tubing has larger diameter and delivers larger drops (10, 15, or 20 drops per mL).

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
