    0.1111 W/m²

    Explanation:

    If all other parameters are constant, sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the sound. That is,

    I ∝ (1/r²)

    I = k/r²

    Since k can be the constant of proportionality. k = Ir²

    We can write this relation as

    I₁ * r₁² = I₂ * r₂²

    I₁ = 0.25 W/m²

    r₁ = 16 m

    I₂ = ?

    r₂ = 24 m

    0.25 * 16² = I₂ * 24²

    I₂ = (0.25 * 16²) / 24²

    I₂ = 0.1111 W/m²
