Let’s go through each problem one by one. We’re looking for the
difference between two measurements — that means we subtract the smaller number from the bigger number.
---
1. Height:
Gorgon = 2.5 meters
Wendigo = 1.8 meters
Difference = 2.5 - 1.8 =
0.7 meters
---
2. Footprints:
Boogeyman = 30 cm
Werewolf = 25 cm
Difference = 30 - 25 =
5 centimeters
---
3. Weight:
Invisible Man = 45 kg
Bigfoot = 62 kg
Difference = 62 - 45 =
17 kilograms
---
4. Monster Speed:
Mummy = 7 m/s
Yeti = 9 m/s
Difference = 9 - 7 =
2 meters per second
---
5. Arm Span:
Frankenstein = 1.2 meters
Dracula = 0.9 meters
Difference = 1.2 - 0.9 =
0.3 meters
---
6. Body Length:
Chupacabra = 5.6 meters
Mothra = 4.9 meters
Difference = 5.6 - 4.9 =
0.7 meters
---
7. Tail Length:
Banshee = 3.5 meters
Jersey Devil = 2.9 meters
Difference = 3.5 - 2.9 =
0.6 meters
---
8. Claw Size:
Kraken = 15 cm
Jabberwocky = 12 cm
Difference = 15 - 12 =
3 centimeters
---
9. Jump Distance:
Minotaur = 4 meters
Siren = 3.2 meters
Difference = 4 - 3.2 =
0.8 meters
---
10. Roar Volume:
Leviathan = 90 decibels
Gremlin = 105 decibels
Difference = 105 - 90 =
15 decibels
---
Final Answer:
1. 0.7 meters
2. 5 centimeters
3. 17 kilograms
4. 2 meters per second
5. 0.3 meters
6. 0.7 meters
7. 0.6 meters
8. 3 centimeters
9. 0.8 meters
10. 15 decibels
