3.0 × 10¹¹ RBC's (or) 3E11 RBC's
Solution:
Step 1: Convert mm³ into L;
As,
1 mm³ = 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ Liters
So,
0.1 mm³ = X Liters
Solving for X,
X = (0.1 mm³ × 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ Liters) ÷ 1 mm³
X = 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ Liters
Step 2: Calculate No. of RBC's in 5 Liter Blood:
As given
1.0 × 10⁻⁷ Liters Blood contains = 6000 RBC's
So,
5.0 Liters of Blood will contain = X RBC's
Solving for X,
X = (5.0 Liters × 6000 RBC's) ÷ 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ Liters
X = 3.0 × 10¹¹ RBC's
Or,
X = 3E11 RBC's
