Percentage by which the gas tank of the car is full = 40%
Amount of gas in the gas tank = 8 gallons
Let us assume the capacity of the gas tank = x gallons
Then
40% * x = 8
(40/100) * x = 8
4x/10 = 8
4x = 8 * 10
4x = 80
x = 80/4
   = 20 gallons
So the total capacity of the gas tank of the car is 20 gallons. I hope the procedure is clear to you.

What is the ratio of the intensities of an earthquake PP wave passing through the Earth and detected at two points 19 kmkm and 4
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The ratio of the intensities is roughly 6:1.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The intensity I() of an earthquake wave is given by:

I = \frac{P}{4\pi d^{2}}

<em>where P: is the power ans d: is the distance. </em>

Hence, the ratio of the intensities of an earthquake wave passing through the Earth and detected at two points 19 km and 46 km from the source is:

\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} = \frac{P/4\pi d_{1}^{2}}{P/4\pi d_{2}^{2}}

<em>where I₁ = P/4πd₁², d₁=19 km, I₁ = P/4πd₂² and d₂=46 km     </em>

\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} = \frac{d_{2}^{2}}{d_{1}^{2}}

\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} = \frac{46 km^{2}}{19 km^{2}}

\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} = 5.9:1

Therefore, the ratio of the intensities is roughly 6:1.  

 

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

the answer is A. 47

Step-by-step explanation:

tanθ = 15/14

the answer for 15/14 comes out to be about 1.0714 and so you put that value into your calculator using the sin^-1 button. it should look something like this sin^-1(1.0714) and press enter and you'll get 46.974 and round will result in 47
