Glucose (C6H12O6) makes up about 0.10% by weight of human blood. How much glucose is there in 1.0 kg of blood?
Answer:
If there is 0.10% of glucose in our blood, then how much is in 1kg? Take 1kg and divide it by 0.0010.
0.0010 x 1 kg = .001kg or 1g
so 1g of glucose...in moles that is 1g/180g/mol = 0.0055 mol
(note the molar mass of glucose is 180g/mol as i used it here)

This is simple multipliation.
(.001)(1.0kg) = .001kg or 1.00g Glucose
0.1% means 0.1 grams in 100 grams of body.
so, 1000 g (0.1/100) = 1 gram.
wlteria, its 1g, not 1mg, your conversion is wrong
style, if you divide 1kg by .001 you get 1000kg. i hope you dont have 1000kg glucose/kg blood in your body :)
it is 1g btw, as has been shown
use proportions
is/of = x/100
so
is/1.0kg = 0.1%/100
or x/1 = 0.1/100
solve for x
Total Weight = 1 kg
Weight of glucose in 1kg = 0.1% = 0.1/100 x 1kg = 1g
