Calculate: If each kind of tree has 163 species of beetles that are found only on that type of tree but no others, how many species of beetles are there in all tropical trees? Use a calculator to do the calculations.

Assuming there are 50,000 tropical trees of that type, by performing a three simple rule, we can estimate an approximate number of 8,150,000 beetle species in all tropical trees.

To answer this question you need to have data about the total number of tropical trees and the number of beetle species found in one single tree.

We already know that each tree has 163 species of beetles.

Now, we will assume that the total number of this type of trees is 50,000 (note: you should do the calcs with the total number of trees that were provided to you)

All we need to do is to perform a three simple rule, this is,

If in one single tree there are 163 species of beetles, how many beetles there are in 50,000 of these tropical trees?

1 tree ------------------ 163 beetle species

50,000 trees ------X = (50,000 trees x 163 species) / 1 tree = 8,150,000
