(1 point)
Responses
1.6 times more bird species
1.6 times more bird species
20 times more bird species
20 times more bird species
4 times more bird species
4 times more bird species
15.5 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 × 10^2) / (2.2 × 10^1)
Simplifying this expression gives us:
(3.4 × 10^2) / (2.2 × 10^1) = 15.5
Therefore, there are 15.5 times more bird species than frog species in Georgia.
