Question

The total amount of blood filtered by the kidneys in one minute is approximately 5.00 liters. Every 30 seconds 2.50 liters of blood are filtered by both kidneys. What is the amount of blood filtered in one hour by each kidney?

Answer 1

The amount of blood filtered in one hour by each kidney is 150 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of blood filtered in one hour by each kidney can be calculated by multiplying the amount filtered in one minute (2.50 liters) by the number of minutes in an hour (60 minutes).

So, the amount of blood filtered in one hour by each kidney is 2.50 liters/minute x 60 minutes = 150 liters.
