To convert 761 mmHg to atmospheres (atm), we can use the conversion factor where 1 atm is equivalent to 760 mmHg. To perform the conversion, we divide the pressure in mmHg by the conversion factor.
Here’s the calculation:
761 mmHg ÷ 760 mmHg/atm = 1.0026 atm
Thus, 761 mmHg is approximately equal to 1.0026 atm.
