    8.7 / times 10^{-5}

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that the diameter of a human hair

    Given that the diameter of a spider's silk

    Now we have to find how much greater is the diameter of a human hair than the diameter of a spider's silk. To find that we just need to subtract the given numbers. Since powers are not same so let's make them equal now we can easily subtract the coefficients that is 3 from 9 = (90-3) / times 10^{-6}

    = 87 / times 10^{-6}

    = 8.7 / times 10^{-5}
