Question

The diagram shows the wingspans of different species of birds. Use the diagram to answer the question given below:

Golden eagle	Blue jay

How much longer is the wingspan of a Golden eagle than the wingspan of a Blue jay?

Answer 1

We have, length of the wingspan of Golden eagle = `2 1/2` m

And the length the wingspan of a Blue jay = `41/100` m

∴ Difference = `2 1/2 - 41/100`

= `5/2 - 41/100`

= `(250 - 41)/100`

= `209/100` m

Hence, the wingspan of a Golden eagle is `209/100` m longer than the wingspan of a Blue jay.
