Answer:
Mass of bread crumb is 20 times the mass of the ant..
Step-by-step explanation:
Mass of an ant = [tex]4\times 10^{-6}[/tex] kg
Ant carries a weight of bread crumb to its anthill.
Mass of the bread crumb = [tex]8\times 10^{-5}[/tex] kg
Ratio of their masses,
[tex]\frac{\text{Mass of the ant}}{\text{Mass of bread crumb}}=\frac{4\times 10^{-6}}{8\times 10^{-5}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\text{Mass of the ant}}{\text{Mass of bread crumb}}=\frac{1}{2\times 10^{(-5+6)}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\text{Mass of the ant}}{\text{Mass of bread crumb}}=\frac{1}{20}[/tex]
Mass of the bread crumb = 20×(Mass of the ant)
Therefore, mass of the bread crumb is 20 times the mass of the ant.
