How many gallons blood in average person?

Answer 1

The average human in the US weighs on average 155 lbs. If about 70% of our body is water and water weighs 8.35 lbs/gallon. When you do the math it comes out to about 13 gallons.

For most adults, body weight is about 60 to 70 percent water. That equals roughly 10 to 12 gallons (38 to 46 L). Fat tissue is about 20 to 35 percent water whereas muscle tissue is about 75 percent water. Therefore, the total percentage of body weight from water depends on the ratio of fat to lean body tissue. People who have a higher percentage of lean tissue have a higher percentage of water weight. Men typically have a higher percentage of lean tissue and, thereby, a higher percentage of water weight than women. Younger people usually have a higher percentage of lean tissue and water weight than older people.

Answer 2

According to Guyton's Textbook of Medical Physiology, your body is made up of 57% water, therefore the amount of gallons in your body depend on your weight. Lets say a person weighs about 150 lbs. To calculate that we will first change 150lbs into kilograms. 1 pound is 0.456 kilograms.

• 150lbs x (0.456kg/1lb)= 68.4 kilograms

Now we see how much 64.8 kg equals 57%.

• 64.8 Kg x 0.57= 38.98 Kg
• this rounded off equals about 40 kg

Now all we have to do is convert this into gallon.

• 1 liter=1 kg
• therefore, 40kg= 40 liters
• 1 gallon = 3.785 liters
• therefore, 40 liters x (3.785 gal/ 1 liter) = 151.4 gallons

There fore, the amount of water in a 150lb person would be about 151.4 gallons.

Answer 3

The human body contains roughly 10 gallons of water.

Answer 4

If you weigh 100 pounds, you contain around 7.8 gallons of water (this amount varies). For 150 pounds body weight, you'd have around 11.7 gallons of water.

Answer 5

There is an average of 37 liters of water in the human body. This converts to around 9.77 gallons of water.
