<p>Hah! It is difficult enough counting insects, imagine counting their legs! <br /><br />But scientists don’t let such things worry them. They count and they weigh and add and subtract and do all sorts of things to come up with really unimaginable facts.<br /><br />One of the things the scientists have found out is that our world holds 300 kg of insects for every kg of humans. That is a 300 is to 1 ratio. Just termites outweigh the world’s humans 10 to 1. <br /><br />This means that if you put all human beings on a scale (you would have to climb on to the weighing scale too!) and the weight is a certain number, then the weight of all termites put on a scale would measure 10 times that.<br /><br />Now, if the termites measured 4066 units, how many units would humans weigh? You know, thinking of all insects is making me feel a bit ...you know....<br /><br />Out of the maze:<br />406.6 units. If you apply the 10 to 1 ratio, 10:1=4066 : ? That is, 4066 divided by 10.</p>
