2.57 yards longer

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

We are told that the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China, spans 26.4 miles

Also, The longest sea bridge in the United States is the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana, which spans 41,940 yards

Required

Unit conversion from yards to miles

Step two:

let us convert 41,940 yards to miles

We know that 1 yard is 0.000568182 miles

hence 41,940 yards is x miles

cross multiply we have

x= 41,940*0.000568182

x=23.83 yards

Hence the difference in their lengths is

=26.4-23.83

=2.57 yards

answer:     true
