(1 point)
Responses
a
1.6 times more bird species
b
4 times more bird species

Answer 1

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.
