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 than frogs?
Responses
15.5 times more bird species
20 times more bird species
1.6 times more bird species
4 times more bird species
To find out how many times more bird species there are than frog species, we need to divide the number of bird species by the number of frog species.
Number of bird species: 3.4 × 10^2
Number of frog species: 2.2 × 10^1
(3.4 × 10^2) / (2.2 × 10^1) ≈ 15.45
Therefore, there are approximately 15.45 times more bird species than frog species.
The closest answer choice is 15.5 times more bird species.
