Suppose a man's scalp hair grows at a rate of 0.42 mm per day. What is this growth rate in inches per century?
Added by Rebecca H.
Step 1
1 inch = 25.4 millimeters 0.42 mm * (1 inch / 25.4 mm) = 0.01653543 inches per day Show more…

Suppose a man’s scalp hair grows at a rate of 0.35 mm per day. What is this growth rate in feet per century?
assume the average growth rate of human hair is 0.608 inches in 1 month. how much does it grow each second? assume an average of 30 days per month

Suppose your hair grows at the rate 1/32 in. per day. Find the rate at which it grows in nanometers per second. Because the distance between atoms in a molecule is on the order of 0.1 nm, your answer suggests how rapidly layers of atoms are assembled in this protein synthesis.
