Question

A patient has approximately 83 mL of blood pumping by their heart at each beat. By assuming they have a pulse of 75 beats per minute it is calculated that the patient pumps 8.964 x 10⁶ mL in one day. Identify the given amount and all conversion factors.

Accepted Answer

Here we're told that a patient has approximately 83 milliliters of blood pumping by their by their heart at each beat. So by assuming they have a pulse of 75 beats per minute, it is calculated that the patient pumps 8.964 times 10 to the 6 milliliters in one day. Identify the given amount and all conversion factors. Alright. So remember, your given amount is just 1 unit by itself. Alright. So here, if we take a look at the information given to us, they're telling us that we have 83 milliliters of blood pumping and that's for each beat. Then they also tell me that I have 75 beats per minute, and then they tell me that a patient pumps this many milliliters in one day. So here, if we take a look, we can tell that automatically 75 beats per minute is 2 different units mixed together. So that would be a conversion factor. We also have connected this many milliliters of blood associated in one day. So that would be 8.964 times 10 to the 6 milliliters per one day. Okay. So that is these are our conversion factors. Then what else do we have? They also tell us that we have 83 milliliters of blood. And here's the thing, they say that's per beat. So that's 83 milliliters of blood per 1 beat. So by looking at these options, we see that we have 3 conversion factors given to us. They're not telling us any given amount. There isn't a a single unit by itself because here milliliters of blood are combined with beats, beats per minute, and then milliliters in a day. K. Sometimes that happens. Sometimes, we may get to a situation where we're only given conversion factors, and we're gonna have to utilize those conversion factors, cancel out units to get to our final answer. This could be one of those cases where in this situation, we have 3 conversion factors, but no given amount.
