Answer:

over 16,000 pints

17,280 pints to be specific

Step-by-step explanation:

Your heart pumps about 1.5 gallons of blood per minute. Over the day, that adds up to over 2,000 gallons. In which if you convert 2,000 gallons, it is equal to 16,000 pints.

1.5 gallons x 60 minutes x 24 hours = 2,160 gallons

2,160 gallons = 17, 280 pints
