Final answer:
The equivalent pressure of a tire-pressure gauge reading of 35 psi in kilopascals is approximately 241 kPa, which corresponds to answer option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The pressure reading on a tire-pressure gauge is given as 35 psi. To convert this reading to kilopascals (kPa), we can use the conversion factor where 1 psi is approximately equal to 6.895 kPa. Therefore, to convert 35 psi into kPa, we multiply 35 by 6.895.
35 psi × 6.895 kPa/psi = 241.325 kPa
When rounding to the nearest whole number, this is approximately 241 kPa.
The correct answer to the question is thus option B) 241 kPa.
