You inflate the front tires on your car to 32 psi. Later, you measure your blood pressure, obtaining a reading of 135/70, the readings being in mm Hg. In metric countries (which is to say, most of the world), these pressures are customarily reported in kilopascals (kPa). In kilopascals, what are (a) your tire pressure and (b) your blood pressure?

Explanation

To convert the tire pressure and blood pressure from psi and mm Hg to kilopascals (kPa), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Convert Tire Pressure from psi to kPa
1. **Identify the tire pressure in psi**: The tire pressure is given as 32 psi.
2. **Use the conversion factor**: We know that 1 psi = 6895 Pascals (Pa).
3. **Convert psi to Pascals**:
\[
\text{Tire Pressure in Pa} = 32 \, \text{psi} \times 6895 \, \text{Pa/psi} = 220640 \, \text{Pa}
