Question

a red blood cell is 7x10^-6m in diameter. there are about 2x10^-13 red blood cells in a 125-lb person. if all of the red blood cells were lined up end to end, how long would the line be? write your answer in scientific notation

Answer 1

Answer:

14 × 10^(-19) m

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the diameter of the red blood cell is 7 × 10^(-6) m

And that number of red blood cells in the person is; 2 × 10^(-13) red blood cells

Since they are held end to end, the length of the line would be;

7 × 10^(-6) × 2 × 10^(-13) = 14 × 10^(-19) m
