The heart pumps 750 gallons of blood in 9 hours
750g : 3= 250 gallons * 2= 500 GALLONS
9h: 3= 3hours * 2 = 6 HOURS
500g *4 = 6h *4
2000g = 24 h

100g *4 = 6h *4
400g = 24h

The human heart pumps 1600 GALLONS more than the human kidney filters during a 24 HOUR period.

Answer:

Human heart pump 1600 gallons more blood than kidney.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The human heart pumps 750 gallons of blood in 9 hours.

This can be written as:

750 gallons = 9 hours

Divide both the sides by 9.

750/9 gallons = 1 hours

Now calculate the gallons of blood human heart pump in 24 hour.

Multiply both sides by 24.


(750)/(9)* 24\ gallons = 24\ hours


(18000)/(9)\ gallons = 24\ hours


2000\ gallons = 24\ hours

Thus, human heart pump 2000 gallons of blood in 24 hours.

A human kidney filters 100 gallons of blood in 6 hours.

This can be written as:

100 gallons = 6 hours

Divide both the sides by 6.

100/6 gallons = 1 hours

Now calculate the gallons of blood human kidney filters in 24 hour.

Multiply both sides by 24.


(100)/(6)* 24\ gallons = 24\ hours


(2400)/(6)\ gallons = 24\ hours


400\ gallons = 24\ hours

Thus, human kidney filters 400 gallons of blood in 24 hours.

We need to find how many more gallons of blood does the human heart pump than a human kidney filters during a 24 hour period.

2000 gallons - 400 gallons = 1600 gallons

Hence, human heart pump 1600 gallons more blood than kidney.
