On the Richter scale, which measures the total amount of energy released during an earthquake, a reading of x-1 indicates one-tenth the released energy as is indicated by a reading of x. On that scale, the frequency corresponding to a reading of 5 is how many times as great as the frequency corresponding to a reading of 3?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 100	B) 200	C) 10^4	D) 10^5	E) 10^6
If Richter scale reading goes from X-1 to X it will be 10   if Richter scale reading goes from 3 to 4 it will be 10   if Richter scale reading goes from 4 to 5 it will be 10   so it will from 3 to 5 i.e 4,5 = 10*10 = 10^2   100nswer is 100
