the human heart pumps 750 gallons of blood in 9 hours. A human kidney filters 100 gallons of blood in 6 hours. How many more gallons of blood does the human heart pump than a human kidney filters during a 24 hour period?

The heart pumps 750*24/9=2000 gallons, and the kidney pumps 100*24/6=400 gallons. This is a difference of 2000-400=1600 gallons.
