Answer:0.802atm

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert pressure from millimeters of mercury (mmHg) to atmospheres (atm), you can use the conversion factor:

1 atm = 760 mmHg

So, to convert the pressure of the light bulb from mmHg to atm, divide the given pressure by 760:

Pressure (in atm) = 610 mmHg / 760 mmHg

Pressure (in atm) ≈ 0.802 atm

Therefore, the pressure inside the light bulb is approximately 0.802 atmosphe
