Question
The diagram shows the wingspans of different species of birds. Use the diagram to answer the question given below:
| Albatross | Sea Gull |
 |
 |
How much longer is the wingspan of an Albatross than the wingspan of a Sea gull?
Solution
We have, length of the wingspan of Albatross = `3 3/5` m
And length of the wingspan of a Sea gull = `1 7/10` m
∴ Difference = `3 3/5 - 1 7/10`
= `18/5 - 17/10`
= `(36 - 17)/10`
= `19/10` m
Hence, the wingspan of an Albatross is `19/10` m longer than the wingspan of a Sea gull.
