The volume of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure on the gas.
v = k/p
---------------
If the volume is 6 cubic centimeters when the pressure on the gas is 8 kilograms per square centimeter,
6 = k/8
k = 48
Equation:
v = 48/p
---------------
then what is the volume when the pressure is 12 kilograms per square centimeter?
v = 48/12
v = 4 cubic centimeters
