Since Jackie has 1/3 and Steven has 4/12 we add them together
4/12+1/3= 2/3
Together they have 2/3 of a Hershey Bar
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.
First we need to subtract $5 from both sides. That gives us the new equation 1.50p = 9. Then, divide 9 by 1.5, which gives you the answer. 9/1.5 = 6.
