Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

M = log(I/S)

The intensity of the first earthquake:

8 = log(I₁/S)

10⁸ = I₁/S

I₁ = 10⁸ S

The intensity of the second earthquake:

6 = log(I₂/S)

10⁶ = I₂/S

I₂ = 10⁶ S

The ratio is:

I₁/I₂ = (10⁸ S) / (10⁶ S)

I₁/I₂ = 100

It is 100 times stronger.

HELP ME PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz<br> 3a+5+8
ivann1987 [24]

Answer: I believe your answer is 17.

Step-by-step explanation: 3a+5+8

Since there is only one a you can turn the a into a 1. So it’s now 3+1+5+8=17 it’s either that or it’s 3x1+5+8= 16

So your answer is either 16 or 17 I believe. Hope I helped!
