Question

You look at an ant under a magnifying glass. Find the actual length of the ant. The image of the ant is 8 times the ants actual size and has a length of 5.6cm.
The ants actual length is_____cm

Answer 1

Divide 5.6 by 8 which is 0.7. Since the image of the ant is 8 times bigger we need to divide by 8 to make it actual size. 

The ant's actual length is 0.7 cm.
