Question 1165298: A certain gas will escape from a storage tank according to the formula e=160\sqrt{p}, where \small e represents the amount escaping per minute in gallons, and \small p represents the pressure in pounds per square inch. What is the pressure on the gas when about 200 gallons per minute are escaping? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

200=160/sqrt(p)
sqrt(p)=160/200=0.8
p=0.89 or 0.9 lb/in^2.
