Question

The width of a human hair is 2 x 10-5 meters. The width of a piece of sand is 1.5 x 10¹ meters.

Answer 1

The difference in the widths, in meters, of the human hair and the piece of sand is $1.4998*10^{-1}$ m.

It is given in the question that:-

Width of a human hair = $2*10^{-5}$ m

Width of a piece of sand = $1.5*10^{-1}$m

We have to find the difference in the widths, in meters, of the human hair and the piece of sand.

We know that,

Difference between the widths = Width of a piece of sand - Width of a human hair

Hence, we can write,

Difference between the widths =  $2*10^{-5}$ m - $1.5*10^{-1}$m

We can write,

$1.5*10^{-1}=15000*10^{-5}$

Hence,

Difference between the widths =

$15000*10^{-5} - 2*10^{-5}= 14998*10^{-5} = 1.4998*10^{-1}$ m
