Answer

$P_{gage}$ is not applicable $P_{abs}=18kPa=18\frac{kN}{m^2}=2.61\frac{lbf}{in^2}=2.61psi=135.03mm Hg$

Work Step by Step

$P_{gage}$ is not applicable for vacuum pressures. $P_{abs}=P_{atm}-P_{vac}=98kPa-80kPa=18kPa$ $P_{abs}=18kPa=18\frac{kN}{m^2}$ $P_{abs}=18kPa*(\frac{1lbf/in^2}{6.895kPa})=2.61\frac{lbf}{in^2}$ $P_{abs}=2.61\frac{lbf}{in^2}=2.61psi$ $P_{abs}=18kPa*(\frac{1mm Hg}{0.1333kPa})=135.03mm Hg$
