Calculate the total oxygen absorption

Earthworms are aerobic organisms that require oxygen to carry out cellular respiration in order to make ATP. They absorb oxygen from the surrounding soil across their moist skin, which means that the rate of oxygen absorption depends on their surface area. Almost all of the cells in their bodies consume oxygen in cellular respiration, which mean that the rate of oxygen consumption depends on their mass, which is directly proportional to their volume.

The surface area of an earthworm is 24.12 cm^(2)
The volume of an earthworm is 3.86 cm^(3)

Oxygen consumption of the body = .98 micromoles O2/g h
Oxygen absorption across the skin = .24 micromole O2/cm^(2) h

Calculate the total oxygen absorption and total oxygen consumption?
