Decibels are a measure of sound on a logarithmic scale where the number in front of the zero represents the number of powers of 10 can think of as the number of zeros As an example a whisper is around 10 dB power ratio of 10 1 zero while a jet engine is around 120 dB power ratio of 1 000 000 000 000 12 zeros Convert the value of a washing machine at 80 decibels into a power ratio
