Answer:

the percentage of RBCs in a given volume of blood

Step-by-step explanation:

The hematocrit is defined as the number of red blood cells present in a particular volume of blood in comparison to other blood components such as white blood cells, blood platelets and plasma.

It can also be defined as the ratio of red blood cell count per total volume of blood and it is usually expressed as percentage or fraction.
