Answer:

25.4psi

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, both psi and atm are units of pressure. If the pressure of air in a car tire is 1.73atm the only thing you need to do is convert atm to psi using the conversion factor:

14.696psi = 1 atm

Thus, 1.73 atm are:

1.73atm × (14.696psi / 1atm) = 25.4psi is the pressure of the air in a car tire.
