Explanation:

Step1: Know the drop - factor of mini drip set

A mini drip set has a drop - factor of 60 gtt/mL.

Step2: Convert the flow rate from mL/h to mL/min

The flow rate is 35 mL/h. To convert it to mL/min, divide by 60. So, $\frac{35}{60}$ mL/min.

Step3: Calculate the gtt/min

Multiply the mL/min value by the drop - factor. The formula is $gtt/min=\text{mL/min}\times\text{drop - factor}$. Substitute the values: $\frac{35}{60}\text{ mL/min}\times60\text{ gtt/mL}$.
$gtt/min = 35$

Answer:

35
