For a person weighing 75 kg, how much oxygen would they consume at rest per minute?

  1. 187.5 ml/min

  2. 262.5 ml/min

  3. 375 ml/min

  4. 450 ml/min

The correct answer is: 262.5 ml/min

At rest, the average person consumes about 3.5 ml of oxygen per kg of body weight per minute. Therefore, for a person weighing 75 kg, they would consume about (3.5 ml/kg/min x 75 kg) = 262.5 ml of oxygen per minute. This indicates that they would consume about 262.5 ml of oxygen per minute while resting. The other options are incorrect because they do not take into account the person's weight and use a constant amount of oxygen consumption per minute.
