Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The decibel or decibel, is a unit that relates two values โ€‹โ€‹of sound pressure, and electrical power. the base unit is the bel, but given the amplitude but for practicality, a submultiple, the decibel, is used. It is a scalar expression .

Zero belios is the reference value used as a base, hence a bel is equivalent to 10 decibels and means that there is a power increase of 10 times over the reference value.
