Question

The pressure inside your

bike tire is 12.2 psi. What is this pressure if expressed in
millimeters of mercury (mm Hg)? (14.7 psi = 1 atm = 760mmHg)

Answer 1

Answer: The pressure 12.2 psi is expressed in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) as 630.9221 mm Hg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Pressure = 12.2 psi

According to the standard conversion of units, 14.7 psi = 1 atm = 760mmHg.

Therefore, 1 psi equal to how many mm Hg is calculated as follows.

`14.7 psi = 760 mm Hg\\1 psi = (760)/(14.7) mm Hg\\= 51.7149 mm Hg`

Hence, 12.2 psi will be converted into mm Hg as follows.

`1 psi = 51.7149 mm Hg\\12.2 psi = 12.2 psi * (51.7149 mm Hg)/(1 psi)\\= 630.9221 mm Hg`

Thus, we can conclude that the pressure 12.2 psi is expressed in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) as 630.9221 mm Hg.
