This is dependent upon many factors with the biggest being age. The very young having higher rates.

A normal rate for infants would be 40 - 60 breathes per minute.

Young children (2-6 years of age) have a typical rate of 20 - 30 breathes per minute.

A healthy adult at rest would have a breath rate between 12 and 20 breathes a minutes. With the average being closer to 12 breathes per minute, but as people age this rate tends to go up slightly.

During stress or exercise this rate can approach 70 or more breathes per minute.
The normal rate of respiration is about 12 to 24 breaths per minute. This may be higher in children or during exercise and anxiety

The amount of breaths you take in a minute will always vary. It just depends on how much air you take in, how fast you take it in, and how fast you exhale. Also, not everyone is going to breate at the same rate. A good way to figure out your own rate might be to set up stopwatch and just count every time you breathe.

How many breaths do you take daily?

Let's see: I take about 12 breaths a minute. There are 60 minutes in an hour. That means I take 720 breaths an hour. That means I take about 11,520 breaths during the 16 hours when I am awake. When I fall asleep my breathing slows down. At 10 breaths a minute that is 600 breaths an hour. that will be 4,800 breaths when I am asleep. 11,520+4,800= Whoops my adding machine just disappeared from the screen.
