8-67. The density of whole blood is $1.05 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}$. A typical adult has about 5.5 L of whole blood. What is the mass in pounds of this amount of whole blood? [Answer to 1 decimal place]
[red47] pounds
12.7 Ib
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the Problem
We need to convert the volume of whole blood from liters to milliliters, then use the density to find the mass in grams, and finally convert the mass from grams to pounds.
