The total amount of water in our body is found in three main locations: within our cells (two-thirds of the water), in the space between our cells and in our blood (one-third of the water). For example, a 70-kg man is made up of about 42L of total water.

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average water, which an adult human body comprises is 60 percent. Thus, one can find the average water content by getting 60 percent of an individual's body weight with the units of kilograms and liters respectively.

For example, let us consider that the average adult in the United States weighs 88 Kgs. Therefore, 60 percent of that value is 52.8 liters, and if transformed into gallons, the outcome will be 13.9. Thus, one can say that the given statement is false.
