18. Can a tsunami occur when the earthquake magnitude is less than 7? Explain you answer.
19. Use deductive reasoning to show that the following procedure always produces the number 5.
Procedure: Pick a number. Add 4 to the number and
multiply the sum by 3. Subtract 7 and then decrease this
difference by the triple of the original number.
20. Solve a logic puzzle.
Each of the four friends Donna, Sarah, Nickkie, and Xhanelle , has a different pet(fish, cat,
dog, and snake). From the following clues, determine the pet of each individual.
1. Sarah is older than her friend who owns the cat and younger than her friend who owns the
dog.
2. Nikkie and her friend who owns the snake are both of the same age and are the youngest
members
of their group.
3. Donna is older than her friend who owns the fish.
