    Answer: 2.94 atm

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Pressure in compressed air tank reads 43.2 pounds per square inch (lb/in)

    Now, convert pressure to atmosphere (atm)

    Recall that 1 atm = 14.695964 lb/in

    so, let Z = 43.2 lb/in

    To get the value of Z, cross multiply

    43.2 lb/in x 1 atm = 14.695964 lb/in x Z

    43.2 lb/in atm = 14.695964 lb/in x Z

    Z = 43.2 lb/in atm / 14.695964 lb/in

    Z = 2.94 atm

    Thus, the pressure of the compressed air tank reads 2.94 atmosphere.
