Solution

To answer the question, we will follow these steps:

  1. Convert the pressure from kilopascals (kPa) to the appropriate unit for bicycle tire pressure, which is usually pounds per square inch (psi). To do this, we can use the conversion factor of 1 kPa = 0.14503773773 psi.

  2. Multiply the given pressure of 230 kPa by the conversion factor to obtain the pressure in psi.

  3. Calculate the pressure in psi by multiplying 230 kPa by 0.14503773773 psi/kPa.

  4. The result of this calculation is the pressure in psi.
