Grasshoper
Actual: 2 in
Magnified: 15 in
The scale factor is given by:
[tex]k=\frac{15}{2}=7.5[/tex]
Black beetle
Actual: 0.6 in
Magnified: 4.2 in
The scale factor is:
[tex]k=\frac{4.2}{0.6}=7[/tex]
Honybee
Actual: 5/8 in
Magnified: 75/16 in
The scale factor is:
[tex]k=\frac{\frac{75}{16}}{\frac{5}{8}}=\frac{75\cdot8}{16\cdot5}=\frac{600}{80}=\frac{15}{2}=7.5[/tex]
Monarch butterfly
Actual: 3.9 in
Magnified: 29.25 in
The scale factor is:
[tex]k=\frac{29.25}{3.9}=\frac{15}{2}=7.5[/tex]
