Answer:

2.9 psi

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure (mmHg) = 150 mmHg

Pressure (psi) =?

The pressure in pound per square inch (psi) can be obtained as follow:

51.715 mmHg = 1 psi

Therefore,

150 mmHg = 150 mmHg × 1 psi / 51.715 mmHg

150 mmHg = 2.9 psi

Thus, pressure in pound per square inch (psi) is 2.9 psi.
