A rabbit has a total blood volume percentage of 6%. What would be the total blood volume for a rabbit weighing 3 kilograms?
- A.
140 ml
- B.
160 ml
- C.
180 ml
- D.
200 ml
Correct Answer
C. 180 mlExplanation
To calculate the total blood volume for a 3kg rabbit with a blood volume percentage of 6%:
Total blood volume = (Weight of the rabbit in kg) × (Blood volume percentage)
Total blood volume = 3 kg × 6% = 3 kg × 0.06 = 0.18 kg
Now, we need to convert the blood volume from kilograms to milliliters.
Since 1 kg = 1000 grams and 1 gram = 1 milliliter for water:
Total blood volume = 0.18 kg × 1000 ml/kg = 180 ml
So, the total blood volume for a 3kg rabbit would be 180 ml.
Therefore, the correct answer is 180 ml.Rate this question:
