The 2002 Denali earthquake in Alaska had a Richter scale magnitude of 6.7. The 2003 Rat Islands earthquake in Alaska had a Richter scale magnitude of 7.8. Suppose an architect has designed a building strong enough to withstand an earthquake 70 times as intense as the Denali quake and 30 times as intense as the Rat Islands quake. Find which structure is strongest.

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!

the answer is 1/4
