Question
The nucleus in a photograph of a cell measures 1.5 mm across. If the magnification in the photograph is × 500, what is the actual size of the nucleus?(Give your answer in mm)
Solution
To find the actual size of the nucleus, you need to divide the size of the nucleus in the photograph by the magnification.
Here's how you do it:
-
The size of the nucleus in the photograph is 1.5 mm.
-
The magnification of the photograph is × 500.
-
Divide the size of the nucleus in the photograph by the magnification to find the actual size of the nucleus.
So, 1.5 mm ÷ 500 = 0.003 mm.
Therefore, the actual size of the nucleus is 0.003 mm.
