Question

A science teacher showed an image of a carpenter bee on a wall. The image is 10 times as large as the actual bee. Then he showed another image of the bee that is 10 times as large as the first image. What is the length of the bee in the second image?

Carpenter bee: 0.025

Answer 1

I believe the answer is most likely 2.500 since 0.025 times 10 is 0.250 then 10 times more would be 2.500. But don't just take my word for it. :/

Answer 2

The length of bee in second image is 2.5.

Explanation:

The size of carpenter bee is 0.025.

The image showed by the science teacher is 10 times as large as the actual bee.

Thus, the 10 times of 0.025 is:

0.025 × 10 = 0.25

Therefore, the length of bee in first image is 0.25.

Then he showed another image of the bee that is 10 times as large as the first image.

Thus, the 10 times of 0.25 is:

0.25 × 10 = 2.5

Hence, the length of bee in second image is 2.5.
