1,022,000 species of animals. vertebrates make up 42,000 & invertebrates make up 980,000 species. what is the percentage of animals that are invertebrates? how did you come to this answer?
Divide 980,000 by 1,022,000. You'll get a decimal answer. Move the decimal point two places to the right to get the percentage.
The fraction of animal species that are invertebrates is 980,000/1,022,000 = 0.959. Convert that to percent
You should slide your decimal over 2 places so that you get 95.9%
To find the percentage of animals that are invertebrates, we need to divide the number of invertebrates by the total number of species and then multiply by 100.
Number of invertebrates = 980,000
Total number of species = 1,022,000
Percentage of invertebrates = (Number of invertebrates / Total number of species) * 100
Replacing the values, we have:
Percentage of invertebrates = (980,000 / 1,022,000) * 100
To calculate this, divide 980,000 by 1,022,000 and then multiply the result by 100.
980,000 / 1,022,000 ≈ 0.9595
0.9595 * 100 ≈ 95.95
Therefore, approximately 95.95% of the total animal species are invertebrates.
