Question

The pressure in car tires is often measured in pounds per square inch (lb/in.2), with the recommended pressure being in the range of 25 to 45 lb/in.2. Suppose a tire has a pressure of 38.5lb/in.2 . Convert 38.5lb/in.2 to its equivalent in atmospheres.

Express the pressure numerically in atmospheres.
38.5lb/in.2 = atm

Answer 1

2.62 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

1 atm = 14.6959 psi

38.5 / 14.6959 = 2.62 atm
