Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total number of species is represented as a whole or100%. . The number of insect species is4 out of every5 species.

STEP 2

To find the percentage of species that are insects, we divide the number of insect species by the total number of species and multiply by100.
$Percentage\, of\, insect\, species = \left(\frac{Number\, of\, insect\, species}{Total\, number\, of\, species}\right) \times100\%$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the number of insect species and the total number of species.
$Percentage\, of\, insect\, species = \left(\frac{}{5}\right) \times100\%$

STEP 4

Calculate the percentage of insect species.
$Percentage\, of\, insect\, species = \left(\frac{4}{}\right) \times100\% =80\%$ 80% of all species are insects.
