: Problem is under Inverse and Joint variation.
The volume of a gas V held at a constant temperature in a closed container varies inversely with its pressure P. If the volume of a gas is 600 cubic cnetimeters (cm3) when the pressure is 150 millimeter of mercury (mm Hg), find the volume when the pressure is 200 mm Hg.

The volume of a gas V held at a constant temperature in a closed container varies inversely with its pressure P. If the volume of a gas is 600 cubic centimeters (cm3) when the pressure is 150 millimeter of mercury (mm Hg), find the volume when the pressure is 200 mm Hg.
:
Using the first scenario find the constant (k)
= 600
k = 600 * 150
k = 90000
:
Find the volume when the pressure is 200
V =
V =
V = 450 cu cm
