The table shows the amount of species of bees and the amount of species of spiders that have been collected.
Insect Population
Bee 2×10^2
Spider 4×10^1
How many times more bee species are there than spiders?
Responses
4 times more bee species
2 times more bee species
5 times more bee species
20 times more bee species
To determine how many times more bee species there are compared to spider species, we need to divide the number of bee species by the number of spider species.
Number of bee species: 2 × 10^2 = 200
Number of spider species: 4 × 10^1 = 40
Ratio of bee species to spider species: 200/40 = 5
Therefore, there are 5 times more bee species than spider species.
