Answer

0.938 L blood

Work Step by Step

First, we can find the mass of a red blood cell (90.0 ×10-¹² cm³)×(1.096 g/cm³) = 9.864 × 10-¹¹ g Now, let's define a mass to volume ratio (9.864 × 10-¹¹ g/cell) × (5.4×10⁹ cell/mL) = 0.533 g/mL As we want the volume in 500g, we have: 500 g × (1 mL /0.533 g) = 938 mL blood
