Step-by-step explanation:

The distance to the epicenter (km) can be calculated using the equation:

Distance = (S-P arrival time (minutes) / P-wave velocity (km/s)) x (60 seconds/minute)

Using the information provided, the distance to the epicenter would be:

Distance = (8.08 - 8.07) / 5.8 x (60) = approximately 1300 km

It is given that the distance to epicenter is 1300km using the chart.
