Please help...
The normal cholesterol level in the blood is 1.0mg/mL. your body contains 5.5L of blood. You just ate 2 hard boiled eggs (one egg contains 250mg of cholesterol). What is the cholesterol concentration in your blood if all the cholesterol from the egg was absorbed?
thanksss

How much added cholesterol do you have from the eggs?
-
500mg
-
500mg
In what volume of blood?
-
Ok so,
the 500mg brings the total level in the body up to 6000mg
6000mg/5.5L of blood = 1090.9mg/L = 1.0909mg/mL
is this correct?

Not quite
How much cholesterol is there normally in the blood?
-
5500mg?

Sorry, my mistake, I misread the initial concentration as mg/l, not mg/ml. The rest seems fine but watch sf

ok thanks for your help
