In an average healthy adult, the volume of blood is about one-eleventh of the body weight. Most sources state the volume of blood in an average human adult, who is between 150 to 160 pounds, as between 4.7 and 5 liters (around 5 quarts), although the more recent sources state the volume of blood in an average adult as 4.7 liters. Sources state that an 80-pound child had about half that amount, and an 8-pound infant has about 8.5 ounces. People who live at high altitudes, where the air contains less oxygen, may have up to 1.9 liters more blood than people who live in low altitude regions. The extra blood delivers additional oxygen to body cells. The heart pumps all the blood in the body each minute when the body is at rest.

This is an incomplete question and sentence. There are 5 quarts of blood in the human body. Now we measure it by liters. If you lose more than a liter of blood you can die if you don't get it replaced. Please resubmit your question with more specifics if I failed to even get close to guessing what you needed to know.

The average person has almost 5 quarts of blood in the human body.

Actually, I think there are about 5.6 quarts, so about 6 quarts. For the average adult, at least. I think.
