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?

m≈501.57 g

Explanation:

The density formula is:

d=m/v

Let’s rearrange the formula for m. m is being divided by v. The inverse of division is multiplication, so multiply both aides by v.

d*v= m/v*v

d*v=m

The mass can be found by multiply the density and the volume.

m=d*v

The density is 1.06 grams per milliliter and the volume is 473.176 milliliters.

d= 1.06 g/mL

v= 473.176 mL

Substitute the values into the formula.

m= 1.06 g/mL * 473.176 mL

Multiply. When multiplying, the mL will cancel out.

m= 501.56656 g

Let’s round to the nearest hundredth. The 6 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 6 to a 7 in the hundredth place.

m ≈501.57 g

The mass is about 501.57 grams.

501.57 g
