Question

c. If the average basal rate of oxygen consumption for an adult is 15 L/hour, then calculate how many hours of oxygen use will you get from the 4.7 L tank?

Answer 1

0.3hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Average basal rate = 15L/hr

Volume of oxygen = 4.7L

Unknown:

Hours of oxygen use = ?

Solution:

Now to solve this rate problem, we need to find the time;

Hours of oxygen use =
`(volume of oxygen )/(average basal rate)`

Hours of oxygen use =
`(4.7)/(15)` = 0.3hrs
