Question

Orla and Eduardo each looked at a strand of their hair under a microscope and measured the diameter. Orla's strand was 0.005cm in diameter, and Eduardo's strand was 0.012cm in diameter.
How much greater was the diameter of Eduardo's hair?

Answer 1

Answer: The diameter of Eduardo's hair is greater than Orla's hair by 0.007 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The diameter of Orla's hair strand = 0.005 cm

The diameter of Eduardo's hair strand = 0.012 cm

Clearly , $0.012>0.005$

The difference between the diameters=$0.012-0.005=0.007\ cm$

Thus, the diameter of Eduardo's hair is greater than Orla's hair by 0.007 cm.
