Question

A bee flies at 15 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. the bee stays at the flowerbed for 10 ​minutes, and then flies directly back to the hive at 9 feet per second. it is away from the hive for a total of 15 minutes.
a) what equation can you use to find the distance of the flowerbed from the hive?

b) how far is the flowerbed from the hive?

Answer 1

The equation can that can be used to find the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is d/15 + d/9 = 300

The flower bed is 1687.5ft away from the hive

How can the work mathematical expression be calculated?

We can denote the  distance of flower bed from hive as d

The time that the the bee stays at the flower bed would be =10

The away  for the  bee  from the hive=15 mins

Then the Time that the  bed  will use to move  to the flower bed and back to the hive  can be calculated as:

15 -10=5 minutes

we can convert to  seconds  as

=(5*60)=300 seconds

To calculate the time  we can use the equation:

Distance/speed

Time of fright=300seconds

Time for flying from hive to flowerbed= d/15ft/s

Time for flying from flower bed to Hive= d/9ft/s

The equation can that can be used to find the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is d/15 + d/9 = 300

(9d+15d)/135  =300

24d/135 =300

24d =40500

d=1687.5ft
