Thanks man
A one-celled organism measures 39 millimeters in length in a photograph.
If the photo has been enlarged by a factor of 100, what is the actual length of the organism? If necessary, enter your answer as a decimal.
To determine the actual length of the organism, you need to consider the scale of enlargement. The photograph is enlarged by a factor of 100, which means that every measurement in the photo is increased by 100 times.
Given that the length of the organism in the photograph is 32 millimeters, you can calculate the actual length by multiplying it by the enlargement factor:
Actual Length = Scale Factor × Length in the Photograph
In this case:
Actual Length = 100 × 32 millimeters
Actual Length = 3,200 millimeters
Therefore, the actual length of the organism is 3,200 millimeters.
