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
