If an average person produces 2 million red blood cells per second, how many red blood cells will be produced in a 24 hour period? express the value in both standard and scientific notation.

Given: If an average person produces 2 million red blood cells per second

To find:  The number of red blood cells produced in a 24 hour period

Logic: Use unitary method of proportion to find the answer

Solution:

In 1 second, the number RBC produced is = 2,000,000 (2 millions)

An hour has 60 minutes and 1 minute has 60 seconds. So 1 hour will have,

1 hour = 60 x 60 seconds = 3600 seconds

Therefore, the number of seconds in 24 hours = 24 x 3600 seconds.

Now using the unitary method of proportion,

1 second produces = 2,000,000 RBCs

24 x 3600 seconds produces

That is 24 hours will have 172,800,000,000 RBCs or 172.8 billions RBCs (standard notation).

The answer in scientific notation will be RBCs.

the correct answer is: d. the saltine and pretzel are made of flour, yeast, and baking soda, and salt. the pecan contains no flour but it does contain fats. the pecan is a nut that can be consumed as a healthy snack. first of all, pecans are a source of fat (monounsaturated fat), but they provide less fat than some other nuts. pecans are a rich source of dietary fiber, manganese magnesium, phosphorus, thiamin, vitamin e…

it enhances antibody production by t cells of the adaptive immune system.
