Answer:
36 because the absolute value of -9-3 is 12, and then 12 times 3 is 36
The minimum thickness of the book would simply be the sum
of the thickness of the two cover pages and all the pages in between. That is:
minimum thickness = 0.9 mm * 2 + 0.13 mm * 400
<span>minimum thickness = 53.8 mm</span>
We are required to compare the magnitude for two earthquake intensity:
the larger intensity is 7.9
the smaller intensity is 3.7
thus the ratio of the intensity will be:
(larger intensity)/(smaller intensity)
=7.9/3.7
=2.135
~2
Thus we conclude that:
The larger earthquake's intensity was 2 times as great as the smaller earthquake's intensity.
0.426 = 426/1000 = 213/500
