It’s hard to give a universal recommendation. I think the PA guidelines are a good starting point. 150 min of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity cardiovascular exercise plus 2 resistance training sessions per week.

For resistance training volume, aim for 12-20 sets per muscle group per week. This is easier to achieve with compound lifts. For example, a bench press with triceps and pecs, pulls hit biceps and lats, deadlifts hit hamstrings and glutes. They all hit other muscles a little as well.
