An ant can carry 0.044 pound of weight.

Important information:

  • Weight of an ant is 8.8x10⁻⁶ pound
  • They can carry objects up to 5,000 times greater than their own body weight.

[tex]8.8x10^{-6}=8.8\times \dfrac{1}{1000000}[/tex] pound

[tex]8.8x10^{-6}=0.0000088[/tex] pound

They can carry objects up to 5,000 times greater than their own body weight. So, the possible weight they can carry is:
