Answer:

\frac{I_1}{I_2} =5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use Richter scale formula

R=log(I)

where

I is intensity

R is Richter scale value

First case:

On May 22, 1960, an earthquake in Chile measured 9.5 on the Richter scale

so, we get

9.5=log(I_1)

Second case:

On February 27, 2010, another earthquake in Chile measured 8.8 on the Richter scale

so, we get

8.8=log(I_2)

we can subtract both equations

9.5-8.8=log(I_1)-log(I_2)

log(\frac{I_1}{I_2} )=0.7

\frac{I_1}{I_2} =10^{0.7}

\frac{I_1}{I_2} =5

scoundrel [369]

Answer:Area of part 1:

A1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

Area of part 2:

A2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

Area of part 3:

A3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

Total shaded area : A1+A2+A3=41 ft2

Total area of the reactangle : A=16*8=128 ft2

Total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2

When Mya looked out at the store's parking lot, she noticed that for every 4 cars, there were 6 trucks. If there's a total of 22
olasank [31]

Answer:

<h2>88 cars</h2><h2>132 trucks</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a ratio problem, the ratio of  cars to trucks

for every 4 cars, there are 6 trucks

represented as a ratio we have 4:6

1. how many of them are cars

applying the part to whole strategy we have

4+6 = 10

let cars be x

\frac{4}{10}= \frac{x}{220}  \\\\x= \frac{220*4}{10} \\\\x= 880/10\\\\x= 88 cars

2.  how many of them are trucks?

let trucks be y

\frac{6}{10}= \frac{y}{220}  \\\\x= \frac{220*6}{10} \\\\y= 1320/10 \\\\y= 132 trucks

This box can be packed with 48 units cubes. The edge length of each unit cube is 1 meter. What is the volume of the box?
Dafna1 [17]

48 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube has equal length width and height

A cube in this case has length 1m meaning the width and height are also 1 m each in length.

The volume of the cube is (L * W * H) =  1 * 1 * 1 = 1 m³

If 48 of these can fit in the bigger box, then the bigger box has the volume of;

48 * 1 m³ = 48 m³

How to find the equation?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

y = 2x + 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation for a line: y = mx + b

Where

x and y are points on the graph

and m is the slope, and can be found by finding \frac{rise}{run}


so the slope is 10/5 or 2, since the graph goes up by 10 and over by 5.

so plug into the equation, and you get y = 2x + b

Next, pick a point on the graph, and plug in the x and y coordinates,

for example:

(x,y) = (5,70)

so, 70 = 2(5) + b

then solve for b

60 = b

Then rewrite the equation

y = 2x + 60
