Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[Given] 1.5 atm

[Solve] mmHg

Step 2: Identify Conversions

1 atm = 760 mmHg

Step 3: Convert

1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                     $\displaystyle 1.5 \ atm(\frac{760 \ mmHg}{1 \ atm})$
2. [DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:                                                        $\displaystyle 1140 \ mmHg$

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.

1140 mmHg ≈ 1100 mmHg
