What is the method for calculating the volume of air inhaled in one hour, given the volume of each breath and the breathing rate?

To calculate the volume of air inhaled in one hour, you need to determine how many breaths are taken in that timeframe and the volume of each individual breath. The correct approach involves multiplying the volume of a breath by the number of breaths taken within one hour.

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour and the breathing rates are typically expressed in breaths per minute, it becomes clear that the most accurate method is to multiply the volume of a breath by the number of breaths per hour. This provides the overall volume inhaled during that hour.

Other methods such as multiplying by the number of breaths per day or per minute may lead to incorrect results, as they do not reflect the specific one-hour period being analyzed. Additionally, calculating based on breaths per second would not be suitable since it would require adjusting the result into an hourly volume without directly stating the number of breaths taken specifically in that hour. Thus, the correct approach focuses solely on calculating the volume for that specific hourly timeframe.
