10. Tom rides his bike at a work rate of 9 METs. What is his work rate in mL/kg/min?

11. Abby exercises on the elliptical trainer at a rate of 28 mL/kg/min. What is her work rate in METs?

12. Karen performs stair-stepping exercise at a rate of 41 mL/kg/min. What is this work rate in METs?

1 MET = 3.5 mL/kg/min

Answer 10.

Given work rate is 9 METs

So to convert into mL/kg/min , it has to be muktiplied by 3.5

So his work rate in mL/kg/min = 9 * 3.5 = 31.5 ml/kg/min

Answer 11.

Abby exercises at the rate of 28 mL/kg/hr. It has to be converted to METs. So it will be divided by 3.5

So, his rate of exercise = 28/3.5 = 8 METs

Answer 12

Karen performs exercise at the rate of 41 mL/kg/min. so again it will be divided by 3.5 to get unit into MET

Thus his work rate = 41/ 3.5 = 11.714 METs
