The volume of a gas in a container at a constant temperature varies inversely as the pressure. The volume is 25 cubic centimeter at a pressure of 11 pounds. Use a proportion to find the pressure when the volume is 59 cubic centimeters.

Pressure would be approximately 4.66 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of gas (V) = 25 cubic cm

Pressure of the  gas (P) = 11 pounds

We need to find the pressure when volume is 59 cubic cm.

Solution:

Now Given:

∝

so we can say that;

where k is a constant.

When V = 25 cubic cm, P =11 pounds.

So the equation becomes as.

Now we need to find the pressure when Volume is 59 cubic cm.

Hence Pressure would be approximately 4.66 pounds.

the factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24. hope this ! mark brainliest! you v much! : )
