Answer:

a

Explanation:

MrRoyal

A person's VO2 is the amount of oxygen the person can utilize when exercising.

The VO2 in mL/kg/min is 50 mL/kg/min

The given parameters are:

  • VO2 = 4.0 L/min
  • Weight = 80 kilograms

The VO2 in mL/kg/min is the quotient of the VO2 is L/min and the weight of the person.

So, we have:

[tex]VO2 = \frac{4.0\ L/min}{80kg}[/tex]

Express L as mL

[tex]VO2 = \frac{4.0\times 1000 mL/min}{80kg}[/tex]

Multiply 40 and 1000

[tex]VO2 = \frac{4000 mL/min}{80kg}[/tex]

Divide 4000 by 80

[tex]VO2 = \frac{50 mL/min}{kg}[/tex]

Rewrite the equation as:

[tex]VO2 = 50 mL/kg/min[/tex]

Hence, the VO2 in mL/kg/min is 50 mL/kg/min
