The volume of blood filtered by the kidneys is 1.18 dm^3 min^ (-1).

Calculate the total volume of blood filtered in 24 hours.

1699.2 cubic decimeters

Explanation:

The kidney is the major excretory organ in the human body. It filters the blood and removes waste.

According to the question, the volume of blood the kidney filters is 1.18 dm^3 min^ (-1). This means that the kidney filters 1.18 dm^3 of blood per minute. This can be alternatively written as 1.18 dm^3/min

To calculate the volume of blood that will be filtered by the kidney in 24hours, it is necessary to convert 24 hours to minutes.

If there are 60 minutes in 1 hour

Then, there would be 60 * 24 minutes in 24 hours

I. e. there are 1440 minutes in 24hours

Based on this, if the kidney filters 1.18 dm^3 of blood in 1 minute

Then, (1440 * 1.18) dm^3 of blood will be filtered in 1440 minutes (24 hours)

1440 * 1.18 = 1699.2

Therefore, the kidney will filter a total of 1699.2 dm^3 of blood in 24 hours.
