Set up a proportion:

$\frac{9}{x}$ = $\frac{1}{80}$

Cross multiply:
x=720

The length of the bug is 720 millimeters under the microscope

Answer:- The body length of the insect under the microscope=720 millimeters

Explanation:-

Given:- Microscope shows you an image of an object that is 80 times the objects actual size.

Scale factor of enlargement=80

Actual length of insect=9 millimeters

The body length of the insect under the microscope= $9\times80............\text{[multiply scale factor to the actual length]}\\=720\text{ millimeters}$

Thus, the body length of the insect under the microscope=720 millimeters
