I tried to use my last question as an example but i cant seem to get the correct answer.. The loudness L of a sound, measured in decibels (dB), is inversely proportional to the square of the distance d from the source of the sound. A person 10 ft from a lawn mower experiences a sound level of 79 dB; how loud is the lawn mower when the person is 100 ft away? I did 10=k/79 --> k=790 790/100=7.9
