The decibel is a unit used to describe the loudness of a sound. For every 20-decibel increase, a sound gets 10 times as loud. Normal conversation is about 60 decibels, and a loud rock concert is about 120 decibels. How many times as loud is a rock concert compared to normal conversation?

    The difference between the loud rock concert and the normal conversation is 120-60=60 dB. It's 3 times of 20 dB. Because every increase of 20 dB corresponds to sound becoming 10 times as loud, the rock concert must be 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000 times as loud as the normal conversation.
