Jaydan · Answer 1

Let's convert mm to meter first.

1 mm = 0.001 meter

5 mm = 0.005 meter

So, if there are 60 termites, the length would be : 0.005 meter x 60 = 0.3 meter.

Andy Guerra · Answer 2

0,3m is the lenght of termites but there are some spaces between each termites 59 spaces each 1mm (0,001m) so 0,059. in conclusion the chain of termites will have 0,3+0,059=0,359m
