Correct Answer : 10-12
The average adult's body contains about 10-12 pints of blood. According to the American Red Cross, when a person donates blood, only one pint is taken (which the body replaces in 24 hours). An average healthy person can donate blood every 56 days or as many as six times a year...that adds up to more than 330 times
