The diameter of fishing line varies. Fishing lines can have a diameter as small as 2 x 102 inch and as large as 6 x 10-2 inch. How many times larger is the thin line? thick line compared to the
Explanation: We know that: small diameter = 2 * 10^-2 in large diameter = 6 * 10^-2 in
We want to know how many times larger is the thin diameter compared to the large one. We will do this as follows: large diameter = k * small diameter where k is the number of times that we want to find 6 * 10^-2 = k * 2 * 10^-2 k = (6 * 10^-2) / (2 * 10^-2) k = 3
This means that the large diameter is 3 times the small one.
