Answer:

T/V = P/(nR)

Explanation:

You want to find T/V from the equation PV = nRT.

Solution

T is in the numerator of the ratio you want. V is on the other side of the equation from T, so you can put V in the denominator by dividing both sides of the equation by V:


P=(nRT)/(V)

Now, you can get the ratio T/V by itself by dividing by its coefficient:


(P)/(nR)=(T)/(V)

Swapping sides gives you the relation you want:


\boxed{(T)/(V)=(P)/(nR)}

Additional comment

Isolating variables and solving equations using the properties of equality should be familiar processes.
