A length of a bacteria enlarged 50,000 times attains a length of 5 cm.

1.	A length of a bacteria enlarged 50,000 times attains a length of 5 cm. What is the actual length of the bacteria? If the length is enlarged 20,000 times only, what would be its enlarged length?
Answer» After enlarging 50,000 times the length is 5 cm. Without enlarging (1 – times) the length Is x cm say ∴ 50,000 : 5 :: 1 : x By rule of properties 50,000 × x = 5 × 1 x = \(\frac {5}{50000} = \frac {1}{10000}\) = 0.0001 cm

Answer»

After enlarging 50,000 times the length is 5 cm.

Without enlarging (1 – times) the length Is x cm say

∴ 50,000 : 5 :: 1 : x

By rule of properties 50,000 × x = 5 × 1

x = \(\frac {5}{50000} = \frac {1}{10000}\) = 0.0001 cm
