Answer 1

Answer: approximately 5.1818 pounds per square inch (psi)

========================================================

Work Shown:

P = pressure

T = temperature

The pressure is directly proportional to the temperature, which means P = k*T where k is some constant. As T goes up, P goes up as well, and vice versa. If P goes down, then T goes down too (or vice versa). In short, P and T go up together or go down together.

We're told that 6 psi (pounds per square inch) correspond to a temperature of 440 degrees F. This means P = 6 and T = 440 pair up. Let's use this P and T pairing to find k.

P = k*T

6 = k*440

6/440 = k

k = 6/440

k = 3/220

Therefore, the equation

P = k*T

updates to

P = (3/220)*T

--------------------

The last step is to plug in T = 380 to figure out the paired value of P

P = (3/220)*T

P = (3/220)*380

P = 5.1818 approximately
