The table shows the amount of species of birds and the amount of species of frogs that have been collected in Georgia.
Animal Population
Birds 3.4×102
Frogs 2.2 ×101
How many times more birds species are there than frogs?
(1 point)
Responses
a
1.6 times more bird species
b
4 times more bird species
To find out how many times more bird species there are than frog species, we can divide the number of bird species by the number of frog species.
Bird species: 3.4 × 10^2
Frog species: 2.2 × 10^1
Dividing the number of bird species by the number of frog species:
(3.4 × 10^2) / (2.2 × 10^1) = 1.54
Therefore, there are approximately 1.54 times more bird species than frog species in Georgia.
None of the given options match this answer exactly, so the closest option would be:
a) 1.6 times more bird species.
