Ten cars at an intersection are blowing their horns simultaneously, creating a 98 decibel sound in the middle of the intersection. What is the average sound level for each car?

To find the average sound level for each car, we need to divide the total sound level of all the cars by the number of cars. In this case, we know that ten cars are blowing their horns simultaneously and the total sound level is 98 decibels.

To calculate the average sound level for each car:

1. Divide the total sound level by the number of cars:
Average sound level = Total sound level / Number of cars
Average sound level = 98 decibels / 10 cars

2. Simplify the equation:
Average sound level = 9.8 decibels per car

Therefore, the average sound level for each car is 9.8 decibels.
