To find the infusion time in hours, we can divide the volume of the IV solution by the flow rate:
infusion time = volume / flow rate
Using the given values:
infusion time = 460 mL / 90 mL/h
Calculating this division, we find:
infusion time ≈ 5.11 hours
Rounded to two significant figures, the infusion time is approximately 5.1 hours.
