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

What to the tenth power can get you 300

Answer:

1.7689 (rounded to 4 decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number we are seeking be "x", thus we can write the equation as:

$x^{10}=300$

Since we have raised "x" to the "10th power", to get "x" back again, we need to take 10th root. Same goes for right side, we take 10th root of 300. We will get our answer. The process shown below:

$x^{10}=300\\\sqrt[10]{x^{10}} =\sqrt[10]{300} \\x=\sqrt[10]{300} \\x=1.7689$
