Question 3
A 70kg patient has approximately 8 pints of blood. The patient donates 470mL of blood.
Approximately what fraction of his body's blood is this? (one pint = 568mL)

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a patient = 70 kg

A 70kg patient has approximately 8 pints of blood.

The patient donates 470mL of blood.

We know that,

1 pint = 568 mL

8 pints = 4544 mL

Required fraction,

[tex]\dfrac{470}{4544}=0.1\\\\=\dfrac{1}{10}[/tex]

So, the required fraction is approximately [tex]\dfrac{1}{10}[/tex].
