Answer:

The intensity of 4 lawn movers is 86 dB.

Explanation:

Intensity of one lawnmower = 80 dB

Let the intensity is I.

Use the formula of intensity

[tex]dB = 10 log\left ( \frac{I}{Io} \right )\\\\80=10log\left ( \frac{I}{Io} \right )\\\\10^8 = \frac{I}{10^{-12}}\\\\I = 10^{-4} W/m^2[/tex]

Now the intensity of 4 lawn movers is

[tex]dB = 10 log\left ( \frac{4I}{Io} \right )\\\\dB=10log\left ( \frac{4\times10^{-4}}{10^{-12}} \right )\\\\dB = 86 dB\\[/tex]
