Entomology

A tropical species of mite named Archegozetes longisetosus is the record holder for the strongest insect in the world. It can lift up to \(1.182\times10^3\) times its own weight.

a. If you were as strong as this insect, explain how you could find how many pounds you could lift.

b. Complete the calculation to find how much you could lift, in pounds, if you were as strong as an Archegozetes longisetosus mite. Express your answer in both scientific notation and standard notation.
