Answer
About 2400 mL of plasma were given.
Work Step by Step
1. Identify the conversion factors.
- We need to convert from "pints" to "mL".
Looking to the table 2.7 (Page 38), we can see that:
$1$ $qt $ $ = 2$ $pt$
and
$946$ $mL = 1$ $qt$
Therefore: $946 $ $mL = 2$ $pt$
2. Calculate the value in milliliters, using the conversion factor:
$5.0 $ $pt \times \frac{946 mL}{2pt} = 2365mL$
3. Adjust the number to the correct number of significant figures.
- The used number that has the fewest number of significant figures is "5.0", with 2. Therefore, the result of the multiplication must have 2 SFs.
$2365$ $mL = 2400$ $mL$
