Question

S waves travel at about 60% of the velocity of P waves. P waves travel at about 6.1 km/s. What is the velocity of S waves?

Answer 1

`=3.66`km/s

Explanation:

To find 60% of a number, we multiply it by 0.6, which is 60% as a decimal. In this case our answer would be:
`60%`of `6.1 =6.1*0.6`
`=3.66`km/s Don't forget units
