Question

The wool of a vicuna is finer than any other wool. The hair of this animal can be as thin as 0.000006 meters. If the average thickness of human hair is approximately 8.4 × 10-5 meters, what is the difference of the thickness of a human hair and a vicuna hair?

Answer 1

Explanation:

I agree with the person above me

Answer 2

7.8 × 10-5 meters

Explanation:

the length of the a human hair= 8.4 x 10^-5

length of the vicuna hair:0.000006 = 0.6 x 10^-5

===========================================

difference between human hair and vicuna hair:

8.4 x 10^-5 - 0.6 x 10^-5 = 10^-5 ( 8.4 - 0.6)

= 10^-5 (7.8)

= 7.8 x 10 ^-5 meters
