Gas laws. The volume of a 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,
Solve for "k":
6 = k/8
k = 48
Therefore 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

Write the equation of variation:
where: P = pressure, V = volume, and k is the constant of variation. Substitute the given V = 6 and P = 8 to find the value of k.
so...
Now the equation of variation is:
Now substitute P = 12 to find the new volume (V).
Cubic centimeters
