2) Majin Buu was destroying everything on Earth, and everyone thought that it was the end. One day, Buu released a force that caused an earthquake of magnitude 18.6 on the Richter scale. Thankfully, Son Goku came to the rescue. As Son Goku was transforming into Super Saiyan 3, an earthquake of magnitude 20 got registered on the Richter scale, causing massive tidal waves, hurricanes, and power outages. The earthquake was felt all over the world and lasted for two hours, nearly splitting the earth into two. How much more intense was the magnitude 20 earthquake compared to the magnitude 18.6 earthquake ?

So magnitude 20 earthquake is about 25.12 times as intense as the magnitude 18.6 earthquake

3) A violin in an orchestra can play at a loudness of 85 decibels. Suppose that in the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, music director Olivier Ochanine wants the violins to play harmoniously at a loudness level of 95 decibels. How many violins playing together at 85 decibels each are needed to achieve this desired loudness level of 95 decibels ? , . We need v violins with total loudness 95
decibels. Hence,
