Answer 1

Just divide the two (2 / 0.05) and you will get your answer; there are 40 drops of bloodin the collection tube.

Answer 2

Answer : The number of drops of blood in a blood collect in tube are, 40.

Explanation :

As we are given that:

Volume of a drop of blood = 0.05 mL

Volume of blood collection tube that holds = 2 mL

Now we have to calculate the number of drops of blood collect in tube.

$\text{Number of drops of blood}=\frac{\text{Volume of blood collect in a tube}}{\text{Volume of a drop of blood}}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\text{Number of drops of blood}=\frac{2mL}{0.05mL}=40$

Therefore, the number of drops of blood in a blood collect in tube are, 40.
