Answer: 4.4-5.5 liters

Step-by-step explanation:
In an average human adult, this equates about 4.5 to 5.5 liters. Females have a smaller blood supply than males. We normally donate 1 litre or half litre of blood, which causes no harm to the body. However, if you lose more blood than that, you could suffer major health consequences.

Hope that helps! Have a good day:)
