Answer: 0.61 atm, 467 torr, 62.25 KPa

Explanation: To convert pressure units we will use some conversion factors.

1 atm = 760 mmHg. For torr conversion 1 mmHg = 1 torr, and from mmHg to Pa the conversion factor is 1 mmHg = 133.3 Pa.

467 mmHg ( 1 atm / 760 mmHg) = 0.61 atm

467 mmHg ( 1 torr / 1 mmHg) = 467 torr

467 mmHg ( 133.3 Pa / 1 mmHg ) = 62,251 Pa

Convert Pa to KPa

62,251 Pa ( 1 KPa / 1000 Pa ) = 62.25 KPa
