Solve the problem.
-When the temperature stays the same, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas. If a balloon is filled with 246 cubic inches of a gas at a pressure of 14 pounds per square inch, find the new
Pressure of the gas if the volume is decreased to 41 cubic inches.
A) 78 pounds per square inch
B) 84 pounds per square inch
C) 70 pounds per square inch
D) $\frac { 41 } { 14 }$ pounds per square inch

The relationship between pressure and volume is given by Boyle's Law, which states that $P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$ for a gas at constant temperature. Substituting the given values, $14 \times 246 = P_2 \times 41$. Solving for $P_2$ gives $P_2 = \frac{14 \times 246}{41} = 84$ pounds per square inch.
