The volume of blood in a person's body is proportional to body weight. A person who weighs 70 pounds has approximately 2 quarts of blood. Estimate the number of quarts of blood in a person who weighs 90 pounds.Determine the proportion.
Estimate .....between 2 and 3 qts
2/70 = 1/35
1/35 * 90 =
90/35 =
18/7 =
2 + 4/7 qts ≈ 2.57 qts
