if an earthworm is 18mm long and is photographed and the picture is magnified 2.5x how long will it be in the picture?
Answer:
The earthworm will be 45 mm long in the picture
Explanation:
From the problem, we can take the original size of the earthworm to be 18mm.
Magnification can be obtained using the formula:
magnification = observed size/ original size.
Recall, we are given that the magnification is 2.5.
Hence, can evaluate the size in the picture to be
2.5 X 18mm = 45mm
