Answer:
The diameter of horse hair is twice as thick as the diameter of the human hair.
Step-by-step explanation:
The diameter of a human hair = [tex]6.5\times 10^{-4}\ \inches[/tex]
The diameter of a horse hair = [tex]1.3\times 10^{-3}\ \inches[/tex]
Dividing the diameter of a horse hair to the diameter of a human hair as follows :
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Diameter of human hair}}{\text{Diameter of horse hair}}=\dfrac{6.5\times 10^{-4}}{1.3\times 10^{-3}}\\\\\dfrac{\text{Diameter of human hair}}{\text{Diameter of horse hair}}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\text{Diameter of horse hair}=2\times \text{Diameter of human hair}[/tex]
So, the diameter of horse hair is twice as thick as the diameter of the human hair.
Answer:
The horse hair is 2 times as thick as the human hair.
