A blood reading is 80 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood. What is this in mg per ml?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 0.8 mg/ml
- Step 1: 100 ml of blood holds the stated mass, so divide the mass by 100 to get the amount in 1 ml. Step 2. 80 / 100 = 0.8 mg/ml. Answer: 0.8 mg/ml. Why not the others: 8 mg/ml: 8 mg/ml divides by 10 instead of 100. 0.08 mg/ml: 0.08 mg/ml divides by 1000. 80 mg/ml: 80 mg/ml multiplies instead of dividing.
