The table shows the amount of species of bees and the amount of species of spiders that have been collected in Georgia.
Insect
Population
Bee 2 * 10 ^ 2
Spider 4 * 10 ^ 1
How many times more bee species are there than spiders?
(2 points)
4 times more bee species
2 times more bee species
5 times more bee species
20 times more bee species
The table shows that there are 2 * 10^2 (or 200) species of bees and 4 * 10^1 (or 40) species of spiders. To find out how many times more bee species there are than spiders, we divide the number of bee species by the number of spider species:
200 / 40 = 5
Therefore, there are 5 times more bee species than spiders.
