Answer:
1440
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this problem by applying the rule of three.
In fact, we know that:
- Over a package of 210 candies,
- The number of brown candies is 63
- Here we want to find what is the number of brown candies when the total number of candies contained in the package is 4800
So we can set up the following rule of three:
where
x = number of brown candies when the total number of candies contained in the package is 4800
Solving the expression for x, we find:
So, Sarah can expect to find 1440 brown candies in a package of 4800 pieces.
You could use the information from part A to get B. I'm not sure if you want A or not, so I'll do it as well.
A
Eo = 10^4.4 Joules
E = 2 * 10^15
Formula
M = (2/3) log (E/Eo)
M = 2/3 * log (2 * 10^15/10^(4.4) )
M = 2/3 * log( 7.9621* 10^10)
M = 2/3 * 10.901
M = 7.26735 on the Richter scale. That is a huge amount of energy.
Part B
Suppose that you use Eo and your base. Eo is 10^4.4
Now the new earthquake is E = 10000 * Eo
So what you get now is M = (2/3)* Log(10000 * Eo / Eo )
The Eo's cancel out.
M = 2/3 * log(10000)
M = 2/3 of 4
M = 8/3
M = 2.6667 difference in the Richter Scale Reading. It is still an awful lot of energy.
What this tells you is that if the original reading was (say) 6 then the 10000 times bigger reading would 8.266667
Answer: M = 2.6667
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4x5-(2 (2) - 2 ) = 14
(18/ 3) + (3 (2) - 7) 8
