Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's convert 481 mmHg to atm:

1 atm --- 760 mmHg

x atm --- 481 mmHg

x = 0.63 atm

mmHg to Torr:

1 mmHg ---- 1 Torr

481 mmHg --- 481 Torr

481 Torr

mmHg to inHg

1 mmHg ---- 0.039 inHg

481 mmHg ---- y inHg

y = 18.8 inHg

mmHg to Pa

1 mmHg --- 133.322 Pa

481 mmHg ---- z

z = 64,128 Pa

Answer:

0.63 atm

481 Torr

18.8 inHg

64,128 Pa
