Measurements

The length of a worker ant is 8.32x10^(-3) feet and the length of the queen ant is 1.9x10^(-2) feet.

We are required to find the difference in the lengths of both ants:


d=1.9\cdot10^(-2)-8.32\cdot10^(-3)

To calculate the difference, we must express both numbers with the same exponent. Let's use the exponent -2 as the common one:


d=1.9\cdot10^(-2)-0.832\cdot10^(-2)=1.068\cdot10^(-2)

This difference is expressed in feet. The correct choice is 1.068 x 10^-2

This number is too small to manage. For this situation, a smaller unit of measure should have been used. From the available options, the only one that is smaller than feet is inches.

Answer: Inches
