Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the total blood volume in a typical healthy adult human is generally estimated based on body weight and average blood volume per kilogram.
Recall that the average blood volume is approximately 70 to 80 milliliters per kilogram of body weight in adults.
Convert the total blood volume from milliliters to pints, knowing that 1 pint is approximately 473 milliliters.
Estimate the total blood volume for an average adult (around 70 kg) by multiplying the average blood volume per kilogram by body weight, then convert this volume to pints.
Compare the calculated value to the given options to identify the closest approximate amount of blood in pints.
