#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)

    int choices;
    choices = getProblem();

        switch(choices)

            int milliliterPerHour;
            int dropRateFactor;
            int dropsPerMin;
            dropRateFactor(milliliterPerHour, dropRateFactor);
            dropsPerMin = dropsMin(milliliterPerHour, dropRateFactor);
            printf("The drop rate per minute is %d.\n", dropsPerMin);
            break;
        }
        2:
        {
            int hours;
            int millilitersPerHour;
            printf("Problem=> 2");
            printf("Enter number of hours=> \n");
            scanf(%d, &hours);
            millilitersPerHour = mlPerHour(hours);
            printf("The rate in milliliters per hour %d\n", millilitersPerHour);
            break;
        }

You are missing the case keyword: "case 1:"

You need the keyword "case" in front of everyone of your cases.

Awesome that fixed it, got more errors first compile attempt but you rock!@

*edit* while you guys are looking , anyone know the easiest way to reference a method in a different c file, example i have a file get_problem.c and in it the method is (dropRateFactor) in case one, and it is erroring saying no such function.

**Edit to my edit** figured it out, it was because i had a variable named the same thanks!

If you have this much code before you tried to compile, you are not compiling often enough. The more often you compile the fewer errors you will need to locate and fix, with the added bonus that you will have fewer lines to search for the errors. Compile early, compile often. Don't be afraid to compile after you enter just a couple of lines of code.
