Answer:

180,000 volume of blood

Step-by-step explanation:

So the nephrons filter 125 cm^3 of blood in 1 minute so when finding 24 hours you know 1 hour has 60 minutes so multiply 125 by 60 to get 7500 which is the blood filtered in 1 hour and since you need 24 hours multiply this 7500 by 24 to get your final answer of 180,000 volumes of blood filtered.
