The diameter of a strand of rope is 1.2x10^-3inch. the diameter of a strand of floss is 2.0x10^-4inch. how much longer is the diameter of the strand of rope than the diameter of the strand of floss? a. 2.0x10^-7 inch b. 1.0x10^-7 inch c. 2.0x10^-3 inch d. 1.0x10^-3 inch
need as soon as possible giving points

Subtract the diameter of the floss from the diameter of the rope.

1.2*10^-3 - 2.0*10^-4 =

0.0012 - 0.0002 = 0.001

0.001 = 1.0^10^-3

The answer is  D. 1.0x10^-3 inch

The diameter of the strand of rope is longer than the diameter of the strand of floss.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The diameter of a strand of rope is inch.

The diameter of a strand of floss is inch.

To Find :  How much longer is the diameter of the strand of rope than the diameter of the strand of floss?

Solution:

The diameter of a strand of rope = inch.

The diameter of a strand of floss = inch.

Difference = 0.0012-0.0002 = 0.001 =

So, option D is true .

Hence the diameter of the strand of rope is longer than the diameter of the strand of floss.
