The table shows the amount of species of bees and the amount of species of spiders that have been collected in Georgia.
insect Population
Bee 2 x 10^2
spider 4 x 10^1
How many times more bee species are there than spiders?
(1 point)
a: 20 times more bee species
b: 2 times more bee species
c : 4 times more bee species
d: 5 times more bee species
To find the ratio of bee species to spider species, you can divide the number of bee species (2 x 10^2) by the number of spider species (4 x 10^1).
(2 x 10^2) / (4 x 10^1) = (2/4) x (10^2 / 10^1) = 0.5 x 10^(2-1) = 0.5 x 10^1 = 5
Therefore, there are 5 times more bee species than spider species.
The correct answer is d: 5 times more bee species.
Are you sure?
Apologies for the incorrect answer. Let's calculate it correctly this time.
The number of bee species is 2 x 10^2, which is equivalent to 200.
The number of spider species is 4 x 10^1, which is equivalent to 40.
To find out how many times more bee species there are than spider species, we can divide the number of bee species by the number of spider species.
200 / 40 = 5
Therefore, there are 5 times more bee species than spider species.
The correct answer is d: 5 times more bee species.
