Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A photo of an ant in a science book is increased 565% as large as the actual size.

If the ant is 14 millimeters.

Now, to find the size of the ant in the photo.

The actual size of ant = 14 millimeters.

The size of the ant in the photo is increased 565% of 14 millimeters.

Now, to get the size of the ant in the photo we put an expression:

According to question:

$14+565\%\ of\ 14\\\\=14+\frac{565}{100}\times 14\\\\=14+5.65\times 14\\\\=14+79.1\\\\=93.1\ millimeters.$

Therefore, 93.1 millimeters is the size of the ant in the photo.
