Answer:
Assuming the question is asking how much time it takes each way, the answer would be 2 minutes from the hive to the flowerbed and 3 minutes back.
Assuming the question is the amount of distance between the hive and the flower bed, the answer is 1080 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
So the total amount of time it was away from the hive was 20 minutes. Out of those 20 minutes, 15 minutes were spent in the flowerbed. So that means travel time was 5 minutes. Now, going is 9 and coming back is 6, so 9+6=15, 5/15=1/3, 1/3*9=3 and 1/3*6=2
Knowing that information, lets solve what the question could be because I have no idea. The amount of distance from the hive to the flower bed is 1080 feet. I got this by doing 9 (the amount of feet per second) times 120 (the amount of seconds in 3 minutes.) You could do this with 6 but I found it easier to multiply 9*120 compared to 6*180.
If it's the commute time, we already solved that.
If I didn't answer the real question, please just comment on this.
