Answer
the number of quarts of blood in a person who weighs 200 pounds is 6.25 quarts.
Work Step by Step
Consider the proportional relation between the weight of the body and the volume of blood in a person’s body.
Because, the person with 160 pounds weight has 5 quarts of blood.
So, the person with 1 pounds weight will have $\frac{5}{160}\ \text{quarts}$of blood.
This shows that the person with 200 pounds weight has $\left( \frac{5}{160}\times 200 \right)\ \text{quarts}$ of blood. It is solved as,
$\begin{align}
& V=\frac{5}{160}\times 200 \\
& =6.25\ \text{quarts}
\end{align}$
Hence, the number of quarts of blood in a person who weighs 200 pounds is 6.25 quarts.
