Answer: The length of the tropical parasite insect in centimeters is 9.3 cm.

Explanation: We are given the length of the parasite insect in milimeters and we need to convert it into centimeters. So, for that we use the conversion:

1 centimeter = 10 milimeter

Converting 93 mm to centimeters, we divide the number by 10, we get:


93mm=(93)/(10)cm=9.3cm

Hence, the length of the parasite insect in centimeters is 9.3 cm
