Answer: To find how much greater the beetle's length is than its width, we need to subtract the width from the length:

Length - Width

Substituting the given values, we get:

2/5 inch - 1/5 inch

Simplifying the expression by finding the common denominator of 5, we get:

(2/5 - 1/5) inch

= 1/5 inch

Therefore, the beetle's length is 1/5 inch greater than its width.
