Answer: 3.84dB
Explanation:
Since person A is talking 1.2dB louder than B, we will have
A = 1.2B... (1)
Similarly, person C is talking 3.2 dB louder than person A, we have
C = 3.2A... (2)
From equation 1, B = A/1.2... (3)
To get the ratio of the sound intensity of person C to the sound intensity of person B, we will divide equation 2 by 3 to give
C/B = 3.2A/{A/1.2}
C/B = 3.2A×1.2/A
C/B = 3.2×1.2
C/B = 3.84dB
