The Answer is

\begin{aligned}\frac { 10,000 ext { units } } { 1,000 \mathrm {~mL} } & = \frac { 1,000 ext { units } / h } { X \mathrm {~mL} / \mathrm { h } } \10,000 \mathrm { X } & = 1,000,000 \\frac { 10,000 X } { 10,000 } & = \frac { 1,000,000 } { 10,000 } \\mathrm { X } & = 100 \mathrm {~mL} / \mathrm { h } \\frac { \mathrm { mL } / \mathrm { h } } { ext { drop factor constant } } & = \mathrm { gtt } / \mathrm { min } \\frac { 100 \mathrm {~mL} / \mathrm { h } } { 3 } & = 33.3 = 33 \mathrm { gtt } / \mathrm { min }\end{aligned}
