Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the total number of platelets and white blood cells in a microliter of blood.
Platelets: 3.7 × 10^5
White blood cells: 9,300
Total = 3.7 × 10^5 + 9,300
Total = 370,000 + 9,300
Total = 379,300
So, the correct answer is B. 3.8 × 10^5. Thank you for pointing that out!
