Correct Answer: 7 to 7.5


Solution : The correct answer is 7 to 7.5 .

In human beings, the small intestine is coiled and is about 7 to 7.5 meters long on average. This length allows for a large surface area for the absorption of nutrients from digested food. The small intestine is a crucial part of the digestive system, where the majority of nutrient absorption takes place. It is located between the stomach and the large intestine. It is divided into three parts: Duodenum, Jejunum, and Ileum.
