Given:
The approximate number of blood cells B passing through an animal's major artery each millisecond is given by
[tex]B=17m^{\frac{4}{3}}[/tex]
Where, m is animal's mass in kilograms.
To find:
The number of blood cells passing through a 243 kg bear's major artery each millisecond.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]B=17m^{\frac{4}{3}}[/tex]
Putting m=243, we get
[tex]B=17(243)^{\frac{4}{3}}[/tex]
[tex]B=17(1516.381107)[/tex]
[tex]B=25778.4788191[/tex]
[tex]B\approx 25778[/tex]
Therefore, the number of blood cells passing through a 243 kg bear's major artery each millisecond is approximately 25,778.
