1.1. In the table below, a number in the top row represents the pressure of a gas in the
bulb of a constant-volume gas thermometer (corrected for dead space, thermal
expansion of bulb, etc.) when the bulb is immersed in a water triple-point cell. The
bottom row represents the corresponding readings of pressure when the bulb is
surrounded by a material at a constant unknown temperature. Calculate the ideal-
gas temperature T of this material. (Use five significant figures.)

This physics problem (pictured below) was given to us on an ungraded practice worksheet. Because the island is floating, I know that the formula (ρ island)(Volume island)=(ρ saltwater)(Volume saltwater) can be used, but I cannot figure out what the volume of the island is. My work so far is pictured below.
