Answer:

The client has to drink 1,350 mL between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.

Explanation:

The answer requires a bit of problem solving analysis.

The client has to receive 1,800 mL in one day (24 hours).

Between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., he needs to receive 3/4 of the fluid. This means that you have to calculate the amount of fluid by considering the given factors.

So, 3/4 of 1,800 mL is equivalent to 1,350 mL. You can get this by multiplying 3/4 (0.75) to 1,800 and this will give you an answer of 1,350.

Thus, the amount that the client will drink between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. is 1,350 mL and the remaining 450 mL (1,800 mL minus 1,350 mL) will be consumed within the remaining time period of 21 hours.
