Question 1159639: Boyles Law states that at a constant temperature the pressure of a gas varies inversely as its volume. If a certain amount of gas is under pressure of 40 pounds per square inch and has a volume of 400 cubic inches, what will be the pressure if the volume is decreased to 250 cubic inches?
