Question

a deer tick measures 29 centimeters in length in a photograph. if the photo has been enlarged by a factor of 100, what is the actual length of the deer tick.

Answer 1

.29 centimeters is the actual length of the tick

Answer 2

Since the picture was enlarged by a factor of 100, divide 29 centimeters (the length in the photo) by 100 (the factor of enlargement) to get the actual length.

29/100 = 0.29 centimeters

Thus, the actual length of the deer tick is 0.29 centimeters.

If you need the length in millimeters, multiply 0.29 with 10, and you get 2.9 millimeters.

Have an awesome day! :)
