Answer : The volume of plasma given to the patient were, [tex]2.8\times 10^{3}ml[/tex]
Explanation :
As we are given that a patient receives 6.0 pints of plasma. Now we have to calculate the volume in milliliters.
As we know that, 1 pints is equal to 473.176 milliliters.
As, 1 pints = 473.176 milliliters
So, 6.0 pints = [tex]\frac{473.176milliliters}{1pint}\times 6.0pints=2839.056milliliter[/tex]
The volume in milliliters to two significant figures is, [tex]2.8\times 10^{3}ml[/tex]
Therefore, the volume of plasma given to the patient were, [tex]2.8\times 10^{3}ml[/tex]
