Breakroom Dishwasher Acoustic Data Verification

As a corporate facilities coordinator, you are verifying acoustic data for a new breakroom dishwasher to ensure compliance with office noise policies. The dishwasher has a sound intensity of 107{}10^{-7} watts per square inch. When applying the formula D=10log(I1012)D = 10 \log\left(\frac{I}{10^{-12}}\right) as demonstrated in the equipment guidelines, what does the ratio inside the parentheses simplify to, and what is the final decibel level (DD) of the dishwasher?
