Question 1104871: Inverse Variation:
Boyle's law states that for constant temperature, the pressure (P) of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume(V) of a gas. The pressure of a gas is o.75 kg/cm^2 when the volume is 8000 cm^3. Find the pressure when the volume is 6000 cm^3.
Thanks in advance. :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the pressure (P) of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume(V) of a gas.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

P=k%2FV


--------------------------------------------------------
pressure of a gas is o.75 kg/cm^2 when the volume is 8000 cm^3.
--------------------------------------------------------

k=PV
k=0.75%2A8000
k=6000


REVISE
P=6000%2FV
