The first thing we have to do is to measure your weight using a weighing scale.

Suppose your weight is 130 pounds, therefore you can lift:

<span>130 pounds * 1.182 • 10^3 = = 153,660 pounds or 1.537 x 10^5 pounds</span>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question that insect can lift up to 1.182×10³ times of it's own weight.

In other words,

Weight lifted by the insect = 1.182 × 10³×(weight of the insect)

If I were as strong as the insect then this formula will be the same

Weight lifted by me = 1182 × (My weight)

If my weight at present = 132 pounds

Then I can lift the weight = 1182×132

= 156024 pounds

= $1.56\times 10^{5}$ pounds
