Answer:
a. Speed of flight * ( total spent away from hive - time stayed on flower bed)
b. The flower bed is 2,400 ft from the hive
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Mathematically, the distance will be ;
the speed * time taken
Given that he stays a total of 17 minutes away from the hive and he stayed 15 minutes in the flower bed, the time it used on the flower bed will be 17 minutes - 15 minutes = 2 minutes
So the distance from the flower bed to the hive is;
Speed of flight * ( total spent away from hive - time stayed on flower bed)
b. We want to find the distance of the flower bed from the hive
That will be;
20 ft per second * 2 minutes (120 seconds)
= 20 * 120 = 2,400 ft
