Question

A hemoglobin test measures 29 grams of hgb per 200 milimiters of blood. If the patient has 11 quarts of blood in her body, how many grams of Hgb are present

Answer 1

Answer:

$11 quarts *\frac{946.353 ml}{1 quarter}= 10409.883 ml$

And for this case we can create the following proportion rule:

$\frac{29 gr}{200 ml} =\frac{x}{10409.883 ml}$

And solving for x we got:

$x= 10409.883 ml *\frac{29 gr}{200ml}= 1509.433 gr$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we know that A hemoglobin test measures 29 grams of hgb per 200 milimiters of blood. and we want to know how many grams of Hgb are present in 11 quarts

First we need to convert the quarts to ml and we have:

$11 quarts *\frac{946.353 ml}{1 quarter}= 10409.883 ml$

And for this case we can create the following proportion rule:

$\frac{29 gr}{200 ml} =\frac{x}{10409.883 ml}$

And solving for x we got:

$x= 10409.883 ml *\frac{29 gr}{200ml}= 1509.433 gr$
