Answer:

Number of total bees = 400

Step-by-step explanation:

He catches 100 bees from the hive and marks each one with a dye.

He later catches 60 and 15 were marked with the dye.

Its very to estimate from the data given.

I'll answer it with ratio.

We'll ratio number of bees with dye to total he caught the second day.

I.e 15:60 = 1:4

We'll multiply this ratio with the number he caught the first day to know the total.

1/4x =100

X = 100*4

X= 400

Where x is the total number of bees in the bee hive.

Answer: After 16 seconds the boats will be traveling the same speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mike is driving a boat at 12 mph and is increasing his speed by 0.2 mph each second.

Mike's spewed after x seconds = 12 + 0.2x

Hank is driving a boat at 26.4 mph and is decreasing his speed by 0.7 mph each second.

Hank's speed after x seconds = 26.4 -0.7 x

As per given,

12 + 0.2x =  26.4 -0.7 x

Subtract 12 from both sides

0.2x= 26.4-12-0.7x

⇒ 0.2x= 14.4-0.7x

Add 0.7xn on both sides , we get

0.2x+0.7x= 14.4

⇒ 0.9x = 14.4

Multiply 10 on both sides, we get

9x=144

Divide both sides by 9 , we get x= 16

Hence, after 16 seconds the boats will be traveling the same speed.
