A lab technician draws a sample of blood. A cubic millimeter of the blood contains 22^3 (the 3 is an exponent) white blood cells and 22^5 (the 5 is an exponent) red blood cells. What is the ratio of white blood cells to red blood cells?

Respuesta :

Answer:

484 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write white blood cells to:

22^5 = 22 × 22 × 22 × 22 × 22

We can write red blood cells to:

22³ = 22 × 22 × 22

Thus, white : red equals

22 (5 times) : 22 (3 times)

22² : 22^0 = 484 : 1

I hope this helps you :)
