Solve the Problem by Writing a Variation Model $15 \mathrm { in } ^ { 3 }$

question 212

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem by writing a variation model. Under constant temperature, the volume occupied by a gas varies inversely to the pressure applied. If the gas occupies a volume of 24 cubic inches under a pressure of 5 pounds per square inch, find the volume when the gas is subjected to a pressure of 10 pounds per square inch.

• A) \(15 \mathrm { in } ^ { 3 }\)
• B) \(13 \mathrm { in } ^ { 3 }\)
• C) \(12 \text { in. }^{3}\)
• D) \(14 \mathrm { in } ^ { 3 }\)
• E) \(11 \mathrm { in } ^ { 3 }\)
