Question

For a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, the volume of the gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. The function IMAGE relates the volume in cubic inches and pressure in pounds per square inch of a gas. What is the volume when the pressure is 900 pounds per square inch?



0.05 in.3

0.5 in.3

20 in.3

200 in.3

Answer 1

Answer:

20 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the function,$\bf V= \dfrac{18000}{p}$ and find the volume of the gas when the pressure of the gas is given.

p = 900 pounds

$\sf V =\dfrac{18000}{900}\\\\\\\boxed{\bf V = 20 \ in^3}$
