1 answer:
The correct statement about the earthquake in the state is option c. State A had approximately 3,362 more earthquakes than State B.
<h3>How to solve for the earthquake in the state A</h3>we have x/y = 0.00299
y = 163696
To solve for x we have
163696 * 0.00299
= 4895 earthquakes
<h3>Next we have to solve for earth quakes in state B</h3>x = 0.1402 x 10931
= 1533
Next we have to find the difference
4895 - 1533 = 3362 earthquakes.
We have to conclude that state A has 3362 earthquakes more than B. Hence the answer is c.
