Question 141(ii)
The diagram shows the wingspans of different species of birds. Use the diagram to answer the question given below.
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 $=2\frac{1}{2}m$
and the length of the wingspan of a Blue jay $=\frac{41}{100}m$
$\therefore$ Difference
$=2\frac{1}{2}-\frac{41}{100}$
$=\frac{5}{2}-\frac{41}{100}=\frac{250-41}{100}=\frac{209}{100}m$
Hence, the wingspan of a Golden eagle is $\frac{209}{100}m$ ( $=2\frac{9}{100}m$) longer than the wingspan of a Blue jay.
