Answer
The atmospheric pressure on Mt. Whitney is equal to:
(a) 0.614 atm
(b) 467 mmHg
Work Step by Step
1. Find the conversion factors:
$1 \space atm = 760 \space mmHg \space (exact)$
$1 \space atm = 760 \space Torr \space (exact)$
$1 \space mmHg = 1 \space Torr$
2. Convert the pressure.
(a) $$467 \space mmHg \times \frac{1 \space atm}{760 \space mmHg} = 0.614 \space atm$$
(b) $$467 \space mmHg \times \frac{1 \space Torr}{1 \space mmHg} = 467 \space mmHg$$
