The average volume of red blood cells in an adult is ranges between 80 — 96 Femtolitres.
Taking an average we have :
(96 + 80) / 2 = 88 femtolitres.
Volume of Red blood cells :
8.8 × 10⁻¹¹ cm³
Volume of a staphylococci approximately equals :5.24 × 10⁻¹³
Dividing the two :
(8.8 × 10⁻¹¹) / (5.24 × 10⁻¹³) = 1.679 × 10³
Ignoring the decimal part, we have :
1 × 10³ = 1000
Taking an average we have :
(96 + 80) / 2 = 88 femtolitres.
