Answer:

0.89821 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Psi and atm are units of pressure.

Psi stands for pound force per square inch.

While atm stands for atmosphere.

In order to convert the psi to atm we would divide the given value 14.696.

Given value = 13.2 psi

In atm:

13.2 / 14.696 = 0.89821 atm
