The energy E (in ergs) released by an earthquake is approximated by log E= 11.8 + 1.5M. Where M is the magnitude of the earthquake. What is the energy released by the 1906 San Francisco quake, which measured 8.3 on the Richter scale? This energy, it is estimated, would be sufficient to provide the entire world's food requirements for a day. Answer in ergs.

$\large \boxed{3.4 \times 10^{10}\text{ ergs }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\log E & = & 11.8 + 1.5M\\& = & 11.8 + 1.5 \times 8.3\\& = & 11.8 + 12.45\\& = & 24.25\\E & = & e^{24.25}\\& = & \mathbf{3.4 \times 10^{10}} \textbf{ ergs}\\\end{array}\\\text{ The energy released was $\large \boxed{\mathbf{3.4 \times 10^{10}}\textbf{ ergs }}$}$

Answer from: Quest

ratios represent a pattern or relationship that can be scaled.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

in this lesson, students will use double number lines and ratio reasoning to solve ratio problems. by partitioning double number lines into proportionate intervals, students will build an understanding of equivalent ratio relationships as those that are generated by multiplying or dividing two related quantities by the same number. this lesson will build upon students' prior understanding of multiplicative comparisons, number line reasoning and equivalent fractions (while highlighting the difference between equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios); and will build toward future work in this unit on building ratio tables, and work in future grades in proportionality, scaling, and expressing and graphing linear functions.

step-by-step explanation:

ratios represent a pattern or relationship that can be scaled.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

Jeffery conducted a survey in his school and found that 30 of the 50 eighth grade students' favorite subject is mathematics. based on the results, jeffery concluded that out of the 200 students in his school, 120 students' favorite subject is mathematics. select the statement that is true about jeffery's conclusion. a. jeffery's conclusion is not valid because the sample was biased since only 200 students were surveyed. b. jeffery's conclusion is valid because the sample was random since all of the students were eighth grade students. c. jeffery's conclusion is valid because the sample was random. d. jeffery's conclusion is not valid because the sample was biased since all of the students were eighth grade students.
