The table shows the amount of species of birds and the amount of species of frogs that have been collected in Georgia.

Question

Animal Population
Birds 3.4×10^2

Frogs 2.2 ×10^1

How many times more birds species are there than frogs?

Answer 1

To find out how many times more bird species there are than frog species in Georgia, we can divide the number of bird species by the number of frog species.

Given:

• Number of bird species = \( 3.4 \times 10^2 = 340 \)
• Number of frog species = \( 2.2 \times 10^1 = 22 \)

Now, we perform the division:

\[ \text{Number of times more birds than frogs} = \frac{340}{22} \]

Calculating that:

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

Therefore, there are approximately 15.45 times more bird species than frog species in Georgia.
