Answer:
[tex]4.70\ lb/cm^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form [tex]yx=k[/tex] or [tex]y=k/x[/tex]
Let
y -----> the volume of a gas in cubic centimeters
x ----> the pressure in lb/cm^2
we have
For y=23, x=9
Find the value of k
[tex]k=yx[/tex] -----> [tex]k=23(9)=207[/tex]
so
The equation that represent the proportion is
[tex]yx=207[/tex]
For y=44
substitute in the equation and solve for x
[tex]44x=207[/tex]
[tex]x=4.70\ lb/cm^2[/tex]
