The scale factor of the enlargement is 80. This means that the image of the insect's body length under the microscope is 80 times larger than its actual size.
So, if the actual body length of the insect is 7 millimeters, you would calculate the body length under the microscope by multiplying the actual length by the scale factor:
7 millimeters * 80 = 560 millimeters
Therefore, the body length of the insect under the microscope is 560 millimeters.
