a patient has 8.5ml of blood drwan for testing. Convert this measurement into inches cube
There are (2.54cm)^3 per cubic inches
8.5ml=8.5/(2.54)^3 in^3
thank you, but im confused as to how i should write it out, we are using dimensional analysis. so should i multiply 8.5 times 2.54^3, or should i divide it.
just remember to multiply by one, carrying along the units you want to cancel.
8.5ml * 1cm^3/1ml * (1in/2.54cm)^3 = 8.5/2.54^3 in^3
To convert milliliters (ml) to cubic inches (in³), we need to use the conversion factor 1 ml = 0.0610237 in³.
Given that the patient has 8.5 ml of blood drawn for testing, we can use this conversion factor to find the equivalent volume in cubic inches.
Volume in cubic inches = Volume in milliliters × Conversion factor
Volume in cubic inches = 8.5 ml × 0.0610237 in³/ml
Now, let's do the calculation:
Volume in cubic inches = 0.52009745 in³
Therefore, the patient has approximately 0.5201 cubic inches of blood drawn for testing.
