Question

if a nucleus measures 100mm on diagram with a magnification of x 10000 what is the actual size of the nucleus

Answer 1

0.01

Step-by-step explanation:

magnification=length of drawing/length of specimen, so you replace all the words with the numbers which will be 10000=100mm/length of the specimen

Answer 2

10 µm

Step-by-step explanation:

Magnification = observed size ÷ actual size

So, Actual size = observed size ÷ magnification

In order to convert millimetre to micrometre, multiply by 1000

Actual size =
`(100*1000)/(10000)`

∴ The actual size of the nucleus is 10 µm.
