Hi everyone today, we have a question asking us to convert the pressure 728.6 tours to P. S. I. So are important. Conversion factors are one atmosphere Equals 760 tour and one atmosphere equals .696. See, And now that we've got this information, we can put this into an equation. So we're going to start with our 728.6 tour and we're going to multiply that by one atmosphere over 760 tour, We're going to multiply that by .696 P. S. I. Over one atmosphere and our tours are going to cancel out and our atmospheres are going to cancel out And that's going to give us 14 0. P. S. I. And that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.
