Question

In a normal person, the level of glucose is about 85 mg/100 mL of blood. If an average body contains 11 pints of blood, how many grams and how many pounds of glucose are present in the blood?

Answer 1

85 mg/100 ml x 473 ml/pint x 11 pints x 1g/1000 mg = 4.4 g

4.4 g x 1 lb/454g = 0.0097 lbs
