Meredith Galloway · Answer 1

From boyles law.

P1v1=P2v2

So, 12.3*40=v*60

V = 12.3*40/60

8.2

Amiya Odonnell · Answer 2

Boyle's Law states an inverse relationship between volume and pressure. If the constant of proportionality is 12.3*40 which is 492, the volume would be 492:60 which is 8.2.

Answer is 8.2 I
