Paul has different spoons for cooking. He told Sue that he likes to stir hot food so he does not burn his hand. Sue disagreed. She said there was no difference between wooden and metal spoons. Was Sue right? Explain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metal is a better conductor than wood, so a metal spoon could burn

Paul's hand. So, Sue is incorrect. The metal being good conductor of heat, heats up faster than wood spoon and thus, could burn Paul's hand.
