The diameter of the high powerfield is 420 micrometers
1) Under high power you observe that 6 leaf cells span your feild of view. What is tha actual size of one leaf cell.
2) You draw a diagram of a singal leaf cell. The lengh of your diagram is 7cm. What is the magnification of your diagram.
Any help would be appreciated I am horrible at biology.

this is not biology, it is math.
420 / 6
and a centimeter is 10 mm and a mm is 1000 micrometers
so seven of those guys:
70000 / (420 / 6) (my luck the decimal will be in the wrong place, figure that out)

This is an optics question not a biology question.
1. the size of a cell is 420/6=70 microns
2. the scale of the diagram is 7E-2 m/7E-5 m = 1E3 = 1000X
In microscocopy it is common to include an object of known size in the field of view for scale.
