Question

Human blood typically contains 1.04 kg/L of platelets. A 1.89 pints of blood would contain what mass (in grams) of platelets

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 930 grams platelets.

Explanation:

The volume of blood given is 1.89 pints. Total number of gallons in 1.89 pints is,  

= 1.89/8 = 0.236 gallon

1 gallon comprise = 3.785 L

So, 0.236 gallon comprise = 0.236 * 3.785 L = 0.89 L

As mentioned that 1 Liter of blood comprise 1.04 kilograms of platelets. Therefore, 0.89 L of blood will contain = 1.04 * 0.89 = 0.93 Kg platelets

1 Kg contain 1000 grams. So, number of platelets in grams will be,  

= 1000 * 0.93 = 930 grams platelets.
