If the deer tick measures 29 centimeters in the enlarged photograph, and the photo has been enlarged by a factor of 100, the actual length of the deer tick can be calculated by dividing the photographed length by the enlargement factor. Thus, the actual length of the deer tick is 29 cm ÷ 100 = 0.29 cm, or 2.9 millimeters.
