Question

There are over 2700 species of snakes in the world. OVer 600 species are Venemous. Write the fraction of species that are not venomous as a decimal.

Answer 1

I think it is 600.0027 but I'm not for sure.?

Answer 2

Alright! In order to find the answer you'd first write a fraction. The total number of snakes over the amount of snakes that are not venomous. To find which snakes are not venomous you'd subtract 600 from 2700:

[2700 - 600 = 2100].

So, the the fraction of snakes that are not venomous is 2100/2700. and simplified is 4/9.

4/9ths is approximately .77 in decimal form.
