Answer:

675 mmHg

Step-by-step explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is


P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we're finding the new pressure


P_2 = (P_1V_1)/(V_2) \\

We have


P_2 = (900 * 600)/(800) = (540000)/(800) \\ = 675

We have the final answer as

675 mmHg

Hope this helps you
