Answer:
Laura must weight the 135.56 pounds of oxygen.
Step-by-step explanation:
Relative oxygen consumption = x = [tex]47 ml/kg min[/tex]
Absolute oxygen consumption = y = [tex]2.89 L/min=2890 mL/min[/tex]
1 L = 1000 mL
Weight of oxygen gas = w
[tex]W=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{2890 mL/min}{47 ml/kg min}=61.49 kg[/tex]
1 kg = 2.20462 pounds
[tex]61.49 kg=61.49\times 2.20462 pounds=135.56 pounds[/tex]
Laura must weight the 135.56 pounds of oxygen.
