students in a biology class measured and recorded the lengths of different microscopic organisms. the results are recorded below.
organism lenght(millimeters)
a 0.00065
b 4.72* 10(exponent -4)
c 8/10,000
d ??
a- a fourth organism was measured and found to be 1/40 the length of organism b. what was the length of organism d? explain
b-which of the 4 organisms in the table was the longest? explain
500 56
a) To find the length of organism D, we need to use the information given that organism A is 1/40 the length of organism B.
The length of organism A is given as 0.00065 millimeters. Since organism A is 1/40 the length of organism B, we can find the length of organism B by multiplying the length of organism A by 40:
Length of organism B = 0.00065 * 40 = 0.026 millimeters
Since organism D is not given in the table, we can deduce that organism D is the same length as organism B:
Length of organism D = Length of organism B = 0.026 millimeters
b) To determine which organism is the longest, we need to compare the lengths of all the organisms in the table.
Organism A has a length of 0.00065 millimeters.
Organism B has a length of 4.72 * 10^(-4) millimeters (which can also be written as 0.000472 millimeters).
Organism C has a length of 8/10,000 millimeters (which is equivalent to 0.0008 millimeters).
Comparing the lengths, we can see that organism B has the longest length (0.000472 millimeters). Therefore, organism B is the longest organism among the four listed in the table.
