    7.112 * 10⁸.

    Explanation:

    The length of DNA is 2.5 nm = 2.5 * 10⁻⁹m.

    The average human length = 5 ft 10 in = 70 inch.

    1 inch = 0.0254 m.

    70 inch = 70 * 0.0254 = 1.778 m.

    Number of DNA molecules = length of man / length of DNA.

    Number of DNA molecules = 1.778 m / 2.5 * 10⁻⁹m.

    Number of DNA molecules = 7.112 * 10⁸.

    Thus, the answer is 7.112 * 10⁸.
