Question

The length of the adult mosquito is typically between 3.0 mm and 6.0 mm. The smallest known mosquitoes are around 2.5 mm, and the largest around 19 mm. Mosquitoes typically have a mass between 3.0 and 5.0 mg. All mosquitoes have slender bodies with three segments: a head, a thorax and an abdomen. What is the length of the largest known mosquito in inches?

Answer 1

0.74in

Explanation:

Given parameters:

length range of adult mosquito = 3.0 - 6.0mm

Smallest mosquito = 2.5mm

Largest mosquito = 19mm

Average mass range = 3.0 - 5.0mg

Unknown:

Length of largest known mosquito in inches = ?

Solution;

The length is the longest dimension. It is how long a body is.

 The problem here is converting from mm to inches;

 

The length of the longest mosquito which is the largest is 19mm

 19mm to inches;

     1mm = 0.039inches

  19mm = 19mm x $\frac{0.039in}{1mm}$ = 0.74in
