28,430 drops of blood?
I will elucidate later.
Answer:
A drop is not a specific measurement, but We chemists like to think there are 10 of them in a milliliter. Therefore, 2843 ml - or 2.8 liters is about 5.9 pints. I'd call that a quart or two low.
i have no idea! depends on the size of the droplets etc... it could be enough to sustain life but barely...
Hi
And while you're at it, could you tell us how many full stops you can get out of a Biro?

Blood, water or any other liquid in drops holds the same capacity in average. It's the weight which differs. Anyway you don't want to hear about the weight. You can do the experiment @ home with water. Chk how many drops consist in a pint. Your answer is there. Good Luck my friend!
gtts or drops are usually considered to have 15 to 20 in a milliliter, so its 1895 to 1421 ml so around a quart and a half. seeing as the average man has 5.5 and the average woman has 3.5 quarts, i'm going to say unless its a midget, no
The administration sets that we use to GIVE blood have a drop size of 20 drops per ml. Doing the math would give you 1421.5 ml, which is far short of that required to sustain an adult human life.
without telling us the size of the droplets, your question is impossible to answer. if you take it as 16 drops equals one mL,then it works out to 1.8 liters of blood. that is about one third of the normal blood volume. at this rate , life is only just about possible, in someone who is otherwise fit and well. in an old or sick person, thismay well not be enough.
Why are you on a drip in hospital and so bored your counting how many drops,Get well soon.
