Suppose that there are 67 butterfly species for every 22,000 insect species and there are 15,000 to 22,000 species of butterflies worldwide. how many insect species are there
Accepted Solution
A:
we know that
for 15000 species of butterflies if there are 67 butterfly species for every -------------> 22,000 insect species for 15000 species of butterflies-------------------------------> X X=15000*22000/67---------> X=4925373.13 insect species
for 22000 species of butterflies if there are 67 butterfly species for every -------------> 22,000 insect species for 22000 species of butterflies-------------------------------> X X=22000*22000/67---------> X=7223880.60 insect species
the answer is there are 4925373 to 7223881 insect species
