Question

During surgery, a patient receives 6.0 pt of plasma. how many milliliters of plasma were given? express the volume in milliliters to two significant figures.

Answer 1

The patient received 2839.059mL.

Answer 2

Answer : The volume of plasma given to the patient were,
`2.8* 10^(3)ml`

Explanation :

As we are given that a patient receives 6.0 pints of plasma. Now we have to calculate the volume in milliliters.

As we know that, 1 pints is equal to 473.176 milliliters.

As, 1 pints = 473.176 milliliters

So, 6.0 pints =
`(473.176milliliters)/(1pint)* 6.0pints=2839.056milliliter`

The volume in milliliters to two significant figures is,
`2.8* 10^(3)ml`

Therefore, the volume of plasma given to the patient were,
`2.8* 10^(3)ml`
