BIOLOGY There are about 5 × 106 red blood cells in one milliliter of blood. A certain blood sample contains 8.32 × 106 red blood cells. About how many milliliters of blood are in the sample?
Divide the number of red blood cells in the sample by the number of red blood cells in 1 milliliter of blood.
Answer: There are about 1.66 milliliters of blood in the sample.
← number of red blood cells in sample← number of red blood cells in 1 milliliter
