Answer 2

Answer:

There are about 5,357 bees in the hive

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----->  the number of bees that leave the hive in one minute

y -----> the approximate number of bees in a hive

we know that

The formula to calculate the approximate number of bees in a hive is equal to

$y=\frac{3x}{0.014}$

For x=25

substitute

$y=\frac{3(25)}{0.014}$

$y=5,357\ bees$

therefore

There are about 5,357 bees in the hive
