A bicycle tire gauge reads 350\,kPa when attached to a fully inflated tire. Which statement about the air pressure inside the tire is most accurate? (Assume atmospheric pressure is 100\,kPa.) a) The air inside is at an absolute pressure of about 250 kPa250\,\text{kPa}. b) The air inside is at an absolute pressure of about 350 kPa350\,\text{kPa}. c) The air inside is at an absolute pressure of about 450 kPa450\,\text{kPa}. d) The absolute pressure cannot be found without the tire’s volume.
