A photo of a mosquito in a science book is magnified to 635% of the mosquito's actual size. If the mosquito is 16 millimetres long, what is the length of the mosquito in the picture.

The length of the mosquito in the picture is 117.6 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

The real size of the mosquito is 16 mm, which is 100% = 1.

In the picture, the size is magnified 635%, so it is 100+635 = 735% = 7.35. So

16mm - 1

x mm - 7.35

x = 7.35*16 = 117.6

The length of the mosquito in the picture is 117.6 mm.
