Answer:


1 units.

Explanation:

Here body weight is 14 pounds =
(14)/(2.205) kg =
6.35 kg (∵ 1 kg ≈ 2.205 ponds ).

Normally, 75 ml of blood needs, if the body weight is 1 kg. Therefore total amount of blood for the body weight 14 pounds
(6.35 kg) = 6.35*75 ml=476.25 ml
=.47625 l and we know that 1 litter of blood =2.11338 point of blood.

Hence total amount of blood =
0.47625*2.11338 points =
1.006497 units≈
1 units.
