Solution

To calculate how large the human egg cell would appear under a microscope at x 60 magnification, you would multiply the actual size of the cell by the magnification level.

  1. Convert the size of the human egg cell from micrometers (μm) to centimeters (cm) because the answer needs to be in cm. There are 10,000 μm in 1 cm, so 100 μm = 0.01 cm.
  2. Multiply the size of the cell in cm by the magnification level. So, 0.01 cm x 60 = 0.6 cm.

Therefore, under a microscope at x 60 magnification, a human egg cell would appear to be 0.6 cm wide.
