How do you calculate the number of breaths per minute on a graph?

a Breathing rate Step 1: Count the number of breaths taken per minute on the time trace. Tip – you need to count full breaths, so count the number of peaks (or troughs) in 1minute. Answer: In this trace there are 10 peaks during the 60 seconds, so the breathing rate is 10 breaths per minute.
