While participating in a blood drive at school, Keona learns that blood has a density of 1.06 g/mL. She donates one pint of blood, which is equal to 473.176 mL.
What is the mass of the blood Keona donates, to the nearest hundredth of a gram?
The mass of the blood Keona donates is
g.
To find the mass of the blood Keona donates, we need to multiply the volume of the blood by its density.
Mass = Volume × Density
Since blood has a density of 1.06 g/mL and Keona donates 473.176 mL of blood, we can calculate:
Mass = 473.176 mL × 1.06 g/mL
Mass = 501.161056 g
Rounded to the nearest hundredth of a gram, the mass of the blood Keona donates is 501.16 g.
To find the mass of the blood Keona donates, we can use the formula:
Mass = Density x Volume
Given:
Density of blood = 1.06 g/mL
Volume of blood = 473.176 mL
Plugging in these values into the formula, we can calculate the mass:
Mass = 1.06 g/mL x 473.176 mL
Mass = 501.36856 g
Rounding the answer to the nearest hundredth of a gram, the mass of the blood Keona donates is 501.37 g.
