A doctor takes a sample of Laura’s blood. There are 4.5*10^6 red blood cellsand 5000 white blood cells. How many times more red blood cells are there than white in the sample? (Answer in scientific notations)

Respuesta :

Number of red blood cells = [tex]4.5*10^{6}[/tex]

Number of white blood cells = 5000 or we can write this as [tex]5*10^{3}[/tex]

We have to find how many times more red blood cells are there than white in the sample. so we will divide the two to get the answer.

[tex]\frac{4.5*10^{6}}{5*10^{3}}[/tex]

= [tex]0.9*10^{3}[/tex]

= [tex]9*10^{2}[/tex] = 9*10*10 = 900

Hence, the red blood cells are 900 times more than white blood cells.

Answer:

Red blood cells are 900 times of white blood cells in the blood sample of Laura.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample of Laura's blood sample contains number of red plus cells = 4.5[tex]10^{6}[/tex] and number of white blood cells = 5×[tex]10^{3}[/tex]

Now we calculate the ratio of red blood cells and white blood cells

= 4.5×[tex]10^{6}[/tex]÷5[tex]10^{3}[/tex]

= 4.5×[tex]10^{3}[/tex]÷5

= 4500÷5

=900

Now scientific representation of data will be

White Blood Cells      5×[tex]10^{3}[/tex]per [tex]mm^{3}[/tex]       5-10

Red Blood Cells       4.5×[tex]10^{3}[/tex] per[tex]mm^{3}[/tex]    4.2-6.11
