Question

Find the quantity of length the wingspan of Golden eagle is longer than the wingspan of Blue jay?

Answer 1

Solution.

The length of wingspan of Golden eagle is given as $2\frac{1}{2}$m, that can be written as $\frac{5}{2}$m.

And, the length of wingspan of Blue jay is given as $\frac{41}{100}$m.

Find the difference in length by subtracting $\frac{41}{100}$ m from $\frac{5}{2}$m as follows:

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{5}{2}-\frac{41}{100}=\frac{5\times 50}{2\times 50}-\frac{41}{100} \\ =\frac{250}{100}-\frac{41}{100} \\ =\frac{209}{100} \end{gathered}$$

The length the wingspan of Golden eagle is longer than the wingspan of Blue jay by $\frac{209}{100}\mathrm{m}$ or $2\frac{9}{100}\mathrm{m}$.
