Answer:
$0.29 \text{ centimeters}$

Explanation:

Given : A deer tick measures 29 centimeters in length in a photograph.

If the photo has been enlarged by the factor of 100, then the actual length of the deer tick will be :-

$(29)/(100)=0.29 \text{ centimeters}$ [Divide the length of deer tick in photograph by the scale factor ]

Hence, the actual length of the deer tick =
$0.29 \text{ centimeters}$
