Step 1 - Order for simplification

To evaluate any expression involving more than one operation, follow the below order of operations:

First evaluate expressions inside grouping symbols like parentheses ( ) or brackets [ ].
Evaluate the exponents.
Perform Multiplication and division from left to right.
Perform addition and subtraction from left to right.

Step 2 - Simplify numerator and denominator

To evaluate the value of the given expression, first simplify the expression of numerator and denominator as shown below

$\frac{1500 \times 15}{12 \times 60} = \frac{22500}{720}$

Step 3 - Divide 22500 by 720

Now, to simplify further divide the numbers to get

$\frac{22500}{720} = 31.25$

Thus, IV flow rate of the patient is $31.25$
