Answer 1

It is 104 cm long and it has to be D

Answer 2

Explanation:

If the beetle is 15 mm in actual size, and the photo is increased to 778% of the actual size, then we can find the size of the beetle in the photo by multiplying its actual size by 7.78:

Size of beetle in photo = Actual size of beetle x 7.78

Substituting the given value of the actual size, we get:

Size of beetle in photo = 15 mm x 7.78

= 116.7 mm

Therefore, the size of the beetle in the photo is 116.7 mm.
