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)
Responses
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 out how many times more bee species there are than spider species, we need to divide the number of bee species by the number of spider species:
(2 x 10^2) / (4 x 10^1)
Simplifying this expression, we have:
(200) / (40) = 5
Therefore, there are 5 times more bee species than spider species. Therefore, the correct answer is d) 5 times more bee species.
