The volume of a gas held at a constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure of the gas. If the volume of a gas is 5000 cubic centimeters when the pressure is 200 millimeters of mercury, what is the volume when the pressure is 500 millimeters of mercury?

2,000 cubic centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

if two variables vary inversely, there is a negative relationship between both variables. the increase in one variable leads to a decrease in the other variable

the equation that represents inverse proportion :

where b = constant of proportionality

5000 = b / 200

b = 5000 x 200 = 1,000,000

v = 1,000,000 / 500

v = 2000

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
