While you are at rest your brain gets 15% by volume of your blood. If your body contains 5.2 L of blood, how many liters of blood are in your brain at rest? and how many quarts?
5.2 x 0.15 = ? L blood at rest.
1 L = 1.06 qts. You convert.
5.2 x 0.15 = 0.78 L blood at rest.
and 0.78 L = 0.8242168 or 0.82 quarts.
To find the volume of blood in the brain at rest, we'll first calculate what 15% of the total blood volume is:
Step 1: Calculate 15% of 5.2 L
15% of 5.2 L = (15/100) * 5.2 L = 0.15 * 5.2 L = 0.78 L
So, at rest, your brain contains 0.78 liters of blood.
To convert liters to quarts, we need to know that 1 liter is equal to 1.05668821 quarts.
Step 2: Convert liters to quarts:
0.78 L * 1.05668821 quart/L = 0.8224755 quarts
Therefore, at rest, your brain contains approximately 0.78 liters (or 0.82 quarts) of blood.
