Question

A nurse measures the volume of a drop of medicine. The volume of 1 drop of medicine is 1.66mL. What is the volume in deciliters of 1000 drops of medicine? Write your answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

16.6dL

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to convert 1.66mL dL this can be achieved by doing the following:

1mL = 0.01dL

1.66mL = 1.66 x 0.01 = 0.0166dL

From the question, we were told that the volume 1 drop of blood = 1.66mL i.e 0.0166dL.

Therefore 1000 drops of blood will be = 0.0166 x 1000 = 16.6dL
