The answer is A. 28.5 hope this helped!!!! :)
It was stated in the problem that a given volume of a is inversely proportional with the pressure of the system. It means that the as the volume increases, the pressure would decrease and as the volume decreases, the pressure would increase. We would express it as:
V α 1/P
To change it to an equality, we introduce a proportionality constant, k. We do as follows:
V = k/P
So, to determine what is asked, we need to first calculate for the value of k.
V = k/P
At V = 160 m^3 P = 108 cmHg
160 = k / (108)
k = 17280
Thus, at P = 87 cmHg
V = 17280 / 87
V = 198.62 m^3
B. is the answer because he can just refill the 1 gallon jug to eventually measure out 3 gallons!
If their perimeters are equal, we can add up all the side lengths of each triangle, and set the perimeters equal to each other to find the value of x that satisfies the equation:
x - 2 + x + 3x + 1 = 2x - 5 + x + 4 + 6x - 7
Combine like terms:
5x - 1 = 9x - 8
And finally, solve for x:
7 = 4x
x = 
Therefore, x is equal to .
