Responses

15.5 times more bird species
15.5 times more bird species

20 times more bird species
20 times more bird species

1.6 times more bird species
1.6 times more bird species

4 times more bird species

Answer 1

To determine how many times more bird species there are than frog species, we can divide the population of bird species by the population of frog species.

The populations given are:

• Birds: \( 3.4 \times 10^2 = 340 \)
• Frogs: \( 2.2 \times 10^1 = 22 \)

Now we divide the number of bird species by the number of frog species:

\[ \frac{340}{22} \approx 15.45 \]

This rounds to approximately 15.5 times.

Thus, the correct response is:

15.5 times more bird species.
