Problema Solution
10c^3 of a normal specimen of human blood contains 1.2grams of hemoglobin. How many grams does 26cm^3 of the same bloof contain?
Answer provided by our tutors
10 cm^3 / 1.2 g = 23cm^3 / x g
So we want to solve for x. We can cross multiply to get:
(10 cm^3) * (x g) = (23 cm^3) (1.2 g)
All of the units cancel, so we are left with:
10 * x = 23 * 1.2
Divide both sides by 10 to get:
x = (23 * 1.2) / 10
x = 2.3 * 1.2
x = 2.76
So there are 2.76 g of hemoglobin in 23 cm^3 of a normal specimen of human blood.
