Question

Which statement is true?

Answer 1

Mosquito = 2.5 x 10⁻⁶

Housefly = 2 x 10⁻⁵

Let's find their ratio: Mosquito/Housefly = (2.5x10⁻⁶)/(2 x 10⁻⁵)

M/H =(2.5/2) x (10⁻⁶/10⁻⁵)
M/H = (5/4) x (10⁽⁻⁶⁺⁵⁾
M/H  = (5/4) x 10⁻¹
M/H = (5/4) x (1/10)
M/H = 5/40
M/H = 1/8 OR 8 M  = 1 H , SO the housefly is 8 times the weight of the mosquito
