The table shows the amount of species of birds and the amount of species of frogs that have been collected in Georgia.
Animal:
Birds
Frogs
Population:
3.4 x 10^(2)
2.2 x 10^(1)
How many times more birds species are there than frogs?
(1 point)
O 1.6 times more bird species
O 4 times more bird species
O 15.5 times more bird species
O 20 times more bird species
To find the ratio of bird species to frog species, we divide the number of bird species by the number of frog species:
(3.4 x 10^2) / (2.2 x 10^1)
This simplifies to:
(340) / (22)
Which further simplifies to:
15.4545...
Rounded to the nearest whole number, there are about 15.5 times more bird species than frog species.
So the correct answer is:
O 15.5 times more bird species.
