A bucket is filled with a combination of water (density 1000 kg/m3) and oil (density 700 kg/m3). these fluids do not mix (the oil will float on top of the water). if the layer of oil is 45.1 cm tall, what is the pressure at the interface between the oil and the water?

Just use the pressure equation. Pressure=densityXgravityXheight. make sure your units correspond correctly and then add on atmospheric pressure.
