ml / kg /min = milli-liters per kilogram per minute.

he consumed 3.5 liters of oxygen in one minute.

1 liter = 1000 milliliters.

3.5 liters * 1000 = 3500 milliliters.

he weighed 170 pounds.

1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms.

170 pounds * .453592 = = 77.11064 pounds.

his VO2 consumption is therefore 3500 / 77.11064 / 1 = 45.3893263 ml/kg/min.
