Short Answer

Expert verified

The concentration of glucose in the blood is5.694grams

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Kate's blood volume is 3.9L

Blood glucose level was 146mg/dL

02

Unit conversion

Step 2: Unit conversion

We must convert units before calculating blood glucose levels:

  • milligrams to grams
  • 1milligram =0.001grams (or) 10-3grams
  • deciliter (dL)to litre (L).
  • 1liter (L) = 10deciliter (dL)
03

Solution

The concentration of glucose in the blood is:

(3.9L)x(146x10-3g/dL)x(10dL/L)=5.694grams
