Answer:

The Moon's diameter is greater than 1,500 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1\ mile=63,360\ inches

1,500\ miles=1,500*63,360=95,040,000\ inches

240,000\ miles=240,000*63,360=15,206,400,000\ inches

by proportion

Find the Moon's diameter

Let

x-----> the Moon's diameter in inches

\frac{x}{15,206,400,000}=\frac{0.25}{30}\\ \\x= 15,206,400,000*0.25/30\\ \\x=126,720,000\ inches

Compare

126,720,000\ inches> 95,040,000\ inches

therefore

The Moon's diameter is greater than 1,500 miles

andriy [413]

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!! Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s).
Rashid [163]

Answer:

20

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the function S(n)=20\cdot b^n.

If n  is the number of hours, then initially n=0 and

S(0)=20\cdot b^0=20\cdot 1=20.

If S(n) is the function of exponential growth, then it can be represented as

S(n)=I\cdot (1+r)^n,

where I is the initial amount, r -is the percent growth rate and n is the number of hours.

If b = 1.85, we can represent it as b = 1 + 0.85. Thus, the hourly percent growth rate of the bacteria would be 0.85=85%.
