The table shows the amount of species of birds and the amount of species of frogs that have been collected.
Animal, Population
Birds, 3.4•10^2
Frogs, 2.2•10^1
How many times more birds species are there then frogs?
•15.5
•1.6
•20
•4
To find out how many times more bird species there are than frogs, divide the number of bird species by the number of frog species:
3.4•10^2 / 2.2•10^1 = 15.5
Therefore, there are 15.5 times more bird species than frog species.
Are you sure explain
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. To find out how many times more bird species there are than frog species, we need to compare the relative size of the two populations.
The table shows that there are 3.4•10^2 (340) bird species and 2.2•10^1 (22) frog species.
To calculate how many times more bird species there are than frog species, divide the number of bird species by the number of frog species:
340 / 22 = 15.45
Therefore, there are approximately 15.45 times more bird species than frog species.
Therefore, the closest option to this calculation from the given choices is 15.5.
