Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
d = distance from hive to flowers, in feet
flying time = 23 min - 18 min = 5 min = 300 sec
time flying to flowers = d ft × (1 sec)/(10 ft) = (d/10) sec
time flying to hive = d ft × (1 sec)/(6 ft) = (d/6) sec
d/10 + d/6 = 300 sec
:::::
d/10 + d/6 = 3d/30 +5d/30 = 8d/30 = 300
d = 300×30/8 = 1,125 ft
Uhh... what are the options?
Here's some possible ones:
0.2
1/5
Represent the length and width by L and W. Then L = W + 4.
Using the perimeter formula: P = 2L + 2W = 68 ft = 2W) + 2(W+4).
Solve for W: 68 = 2W + 2W + 8, or 4W = 60. Thus, W = 15 and L = 19.
The dimensions of the rectangle are 15 by 19 feet.
