Given the statement:
Walkway Over the Hudson; a bridge that crosses the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie is 2.063 kilometers. Anping Bridge, which was built 850 years ago, is 2.07 kilometers long.
Determine which bridge is longer.
Solution:
In order to determine which bridge is longer, we first convert each to meters to easily determine the difference.
1 km = 1000 m
2.063 km = 2063 m
2.07 km = 2070 m
Substract 2063 to 2070.
= 2070 - 2063
= 3 meters
Final answer:
Anping Bridge is longer than Hudson Bridge by 3 meters.
