27.216 mg/h.

Explanation:

First you need to convert 100 lb to kg, and there are 45.36 kg, she will receive 10 mcg/kg/min so if you multiply it by 45.36 kg, she will receive 453.6 mcg/min, so in one hour (60 minutes) she will receive 27216 mcg/h, 1000 mcg are 1 mg, so she will receive 27.216 mg/h.
