Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The normal respiratory rate for an adult at rest is 12 to 18 breaths per minute.

Detailed explanation-2: -The normal respiratory rate for healthy adults is between 12–20 breaths per minute. At this breathing rate, the carbon dioxide exits the lungs at the same rate that the body produces it. Breathing rates of below 12 or above 20 can mean a disruption in the normal breathing processes.
