Complete question is;

A bee flies at 9 feet per second directly to a flower bed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 15 minutes, and then flies directly back to the hive at 6 feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 18 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:

A) (d/9) + 900 + (d/6) = 1080

B) d = 648 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are told that A bee flies at 9 feet per second directly to a flower bed from its hive.

Time taken is given as;

t = distance/speed

If distance is d from the hive to the flower bird.

Then, t1 = d/9

The bee stays at the flowerbed for 15 minutes. Thus, time spent at the flowerbird in seconds is; t2 = 15 × 60 = 900 seconds.

We are told that the bee flew directly back to the hive at 6 feet per second.

Thus,time is;

t3 = d/6

Since total time spent away from hive is 18 minutes, then converting to seconds, we have; t = 18 × 60 = 1080 s

Thus;

(d/9) + 900 + (d/6) = 1080

B) Since we have derived;

(d/9) + 900 + (d/6) = 1080

Then we can find d.

Multiply through by 18 to get;

2d + (900 × 18) + 3d = 1080 × 18

2d + 16200 + 3d = 19440

5d = 19440 - 16200

5d = 3240

d = 3240/5

d = 648 ft

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

  • triangle
  • square
  • hexagon
  • dodecagon

Step-by-step explanation:

The 12 points marked can be divided into this many equal-size groups:

  3, 4, 6, 12

so the figures that can be constructed are ...

  • triangle . . . . connects every 4th mark
  • square . . . . . connects every 3rd mark
  • hexagon . . . .connects every other mark
  • dodecagon . . connects every mark

_____

12 is also divisible by 1 and 2, but the minimum number of vertices in a regular polygon is 3.

A fish tank in a pet store has 23 fish in it. 10 are orange and 13 are white. Determine the probability that if we select 4 fish
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

ok so the probility of gettting one white fish is

13/23

and if we take out one white fish the problity is

12/22

so we just multiply

12/22*13/23=0.30830039525

so the problity is 0.30 if you choose two fish you will get white for both
