Question

The fairy fly is one of the world’s smallest insects. It may measure no more than 1.39×10−4 meter in length. What is the total length of 2 of these insects, placed end to end? ​

Answer 1

Answer: The length of one fairy fly is 1.39×10−4 meter. To find the total length of two fairy flies placed end to end, we need to add their lengths.

1 fairy fly = 1.39×10−4 meter

2 fairy flies = 2 × 1.39×10−4 meter (adding the lengths of two fairy flies)

= 2.78×10−4 meter

Therefore, the total length of two fairy flies placed end to end is 2.78×10−4 meter.
