Is a negative or positive number the strongest?
The term strongest does not really apply here. It really depends on the context. -30 is much colder than -2, so in this case the more negative, the "stronger" the implication. If we were talking about a bank balance, $5 is better than $1, so here the more positive number is the "stronger" one. Just think of negative and positive numbers as all living on the same spectrum, but just on different sides of zero, or what we use to denote the absence of anything.
How much is a sleep number bed?

How much does a number exceed a number?
5,000/mm3.
What are some whole numbers that round to 66000?
This would depend on how much you are rounding to. If you are rounding to the nearest hundred then the answer could be a number like 66048. However, if you are rounding to the nearest 1 then the answer could be a number like 66000.4.
What does it mean to replace number with a number that tells about how many or how much?
What is it called to replace a number that tells about how many or how much
How much stronger is a 9.0 than a 4.0 of an earthquake?
A LOT stronger. The force of an earthquake is expressed using a log 10 scale of energy. A 5.0 earthquake is 10 times stronger than a 4.0, a 6.0 is 10 times stronger than a 5.0, and so on. 9 is the highest number on the scale, and would be a "Great" earthquake, as opposed to minor, moderate, strong or major. Total destruction of man-made structures, etc.
Is A Richter and Moment Magnitude 8 earthquake twice as large as a Richter or Moment Magnitude 4 earthquake?
No, but it would be much stronger.
How much stronger is an 8.8 than a 7.0 earthquake?

How much stronger is a 7.1 earthquake compared to a 7.0 earthquake?

How much stronger was the Chile earthquake than the one in Haiti?
The Chile earthquake at 8.8 was about 100 times stronger than the Haiti earthquake at 6.8. The Richter scale is logarithmic. The difference between the earthquakes is 2.0, which is the logarithm of 100.
How much stronger is 6.6 earthquake than an 8.3 earthquake?
surely you are mistaken, and you mean the other way round?...Go to USGS
How much stronger is a 8.0 earthquake than a 5.0 earthquake?
400 Times ___________________ The above may very well be correct; my understanding is that every whole number up represents about a 10-fold increase in energy of a quake. One would conclude that the quake of rating 8 is 10,000 times stronger than a quake of 4. ___________________ 10,000 times is the correct answer
How much stronger was the 1946 earthquake than the 2010 earthquake?
Well the 1946 earthquake to my knowledge was 8.0 in magnitude but the 20010 was was only 7.0 so in fact the 1946 earthquake was stronger, but the media coverage may not have been as large which is why people may be under the illusion that the 2010 earthquake was stronger, it is one of the positive consequences of the Internet transmitting information that we can learn about these disasters quicker to send help especially to less economically developed countries.
Who is stronger cat or human being comapre to they size?

What is the Magnitude of an earthquake and how big was the earthquake in Japan?
The magnitude of an earthquake is a number used to quantify how much energy was released during the earthquake. The earthquake in Japan that occurred on Friday, March 10, 2011, had a moment magnitude of 8.9.
What are the example of objective?
Objective information is a type of information that is not caused or biased by an individual's perspective. For instance, geologists measure earthquakes using a seismograph. The seismograph takes an objective reading of an earthquake and assigns it a number. This reading also gives the duration. An individual who has felt the earthquake may insist that he earthquake was much longer or stronger than the measurement. The individual's experience is subjective. The measurement is objective.
