Question

Derrick measured an insect wing that was .1 meters long. Leslie measured an insect wing that was 1/10 as long as the wing Derrick measured. How long was the wing Leslie measured?

Answer 1

Let x be the measure of leslie wing
insect wing=1m=100cm
insect wing= 1/10 of leslie wing
100cm=1/10  *x
1000cm=x
x=1000cm
x=10m
therefore the leslie wing = 10m
