If a patient\'s blood pressure is 145 over 65 mmhg, what is it in atmospheres (atm)

Converting mmHg to atm is solved by division.

Example: Convert 745.0 to atm.

Solution- divide the mmHg value by the 760.0 mmHg / atm.

745 mmHg over 760.0 mmHg/atm

atm value is 0.980263

Now, I am a medical student and we have never had to convert a BP (blood pressure) to atm from mmHg, only ever kPA. SO, I am going to take a guess here and say that when you do the work to solve this, you are going to convert the Systolic (upper #) which is the 145. You should get 0.190789 and then convert the Diastolic (lower #) which is 65. You should get 0.08552632.

So your fraction so to speak should read, 0.190789/0.08552632 or 0.190789 over 0.08552632

(Just to note that is way to low of a BP, although it is irrelevant) Best wishes and good luck. "Remember, never just look for the right answer, look for why it is the right answer!"

0.191/0.086 atm

Explanation:

Blood pressure is expressed with two numbers:

The first number is the systolic pressure which is the pressure when the heart beats.

The second number is the diastolic pressure which is the pressure when the heart rests between beats.

So, we must convert the two numbers to atm. Since 1 atm is equal to 760 mmHg we have:

145 mmHg x (1 atm/760 mmHg) = 0.191 atm

65 mmHg x (1 atm/760 mmHg) = 0.086 atm

The patient’s blood pressure is 0.191/0.086 atm

c is the answer because when something is left after something evaporates that shows the chemical change.

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
