You can put this solution on YOUR website!

I will give you the formula and try to pulg the value in and solve it your-self.  If you still need help e-mail me back.
\n" );
document.write( "Proportional means it eqauls so:
\n" );
document.write( "P=T
\n" );
document.write( "Now inversely proportional means that the number is getting divded;
\n" );
document.write( "So in this case the eqaution is 
\n" );
document.write( "P=T/V because V is inversly proportional to P, with temperature as being porportional.
\n" );
document.write( "So for B it's:
\n" );
document.write( "Rerrange the formula:
\n" );
document.write( "V=T/P
\n" );
document.write( "So:
\n" );
document.write( "V=400/33.2 --> solve that.\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "For c) it's P=500/80 --> solve that.
\n" );
