A gas-filled weather balloon has a volume of 54.0 L at ground level, where the pressure is 759 mmHg and the temperature is 21.1 °C. After being released, the balloon rises to an altitude where the temperature is -3.86 °C and the pressure is 0.0757 atm. What is the weather balloon's volume at the higher altitude? V = L
