To find out how many milliliters of oxygen each gram of hemoglobin can carry, you can set up a proportion using the given information:
Given:
- 15 g of hemoglobin in every 100 ml of blood.
- 10,000,000 ml of blood can carry 2.01 ml of oxygen.
Let x be the amount of oxygen (in ml) that 1 gram of hemoglobin can carry.
You can set up the proportion as follows:
(15 g of hemoglobin) / (100 ml of blood) = x / (2.01 ml of oxygen)
Now, solve for x:
x = (15 g / 100 ml) * (2.01 ml)
x = 3 * 2.01
x = 6.03 ml
So, each gram of hemoglobin can carry approximately 6.03 milliliters of oxygen.
