17. if the earthquake magnitude is 8.5, how high (in meters) can the tsunami be?
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

19. Use deductive reasoning to show that the following procedure always produces the number 5.
Procedure: Pick a number. Add 4 to the number and
multiply the sum by 3. Subtract 7 and then decrease this
difference by the triple of the original number.
20. Solve a logic puzzle.
Each of the four friends Donna, Sarah, Nickkie, and Xhanelle , has a different pet(fish, cat,
dog, and snake). From the following clues, determine the pet of each individual.
1. Sarah is older than her friend who owns the cat and younger than her friend who owns the
dog.
2. Nikkie and her friend who owns the snake are both of the same age and are the youngest
members
of their group.
3. Donna is older than her friend who owns the fish.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F1bbe6aea-6dd7-4e3d-83d5-756675cabe29%2F3645110f-a8f8-4955-baf4-a607231531b4%2Fs16wcec_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
