The noise level in a library is 404040 decibels (dB), while the noise level in a busy restaurant is 707070 decibels (dB). The formula for sound intensity level in decibels is β=10log⁡10(II0)\beta = 10 \log_{10}\left(\frac{I}{I_0}\right)β=10log10​(I0​I​), where III is the sound intensity and I0I_0I0​ is the reference intensity. How many times more intense is the sound in the restaurant compared to the library?
