Question

In a horror movie ,bugs were enlarged on a scale of 1:325.If a bug was originally 1 1\2 inches long how long will the bug be once it is enlarged for the movie

Answer 1

The bug will be
`487(1)/(2)` inches long once it is enlarged for the movie.

Step-by-step explanation

In a horror movie ,bugs were enlarged on a scale of 1 : 325 . That means, the ratio of the original size to the enlarged size is 1 : 325

Original length of the bug is
`1(1)/(2)` inches or 1.5 inches

Suppose, the enlarged length of the bug is
`x` inches.

Now, according to the ratio.......

`(1.5)/(x)=(1)/(325)\\ \\ x=1.5*325= 487.5 = 487(1)/(2)`

So, the bug will be
`487(1)/(2)` inches long once it is enlarged for the movie.
