The magnitude of an earthquake that is 35 more times intense than a standard earthquake is 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

I be the intensity for which we have to find magnitude

S is the standard intensity of earthquake

And

M is the magnitude

The intensity of standard earthquake is 10.

$35\ times\ of\ 10 = 35*350 =350\\I=350$

The formula for magnitude is:

$M= log \frac{I}{S}\\Putting\ values\\M= log \frac{350}{10}\\M = log\ 35\\M = 1.544\\M= 1.5$

The magnitude of an earthquake that is 35 more times intense than a standard earthquake is 1.5

If the difference of a number and four is doubled the result is 1/4 less than the number. find the number

sukhopar [10]

The formula is (2)(n-4) = n-1/4

Mult both sides by 4:

8n - 32 = 4n -1, or 4n = 31, or n=31/4.

If this is not what you expected, please ensure that you have copied down the original problem correctly. What do you mean by "1/4 less?"

Let's try (2)(n-4) = 1n-(1/4)n = (3/4)n. Then,

2n-8 = (3/4)n, or (5/4)n = 8. Mult. both sides by (4/5), we get:

n = (5/4)(8) = 10. Is that what you were hoping for?
