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.
