A bee flies at 10 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 18 minutes, and then

flies directly back to the hive at 6
feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 23 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:

Step-by-step explanation:

d = distance from hive to flowers, in feet

flying time = 23 min - 18 min = 5 min = 300 sec

time flying to flowers = d ft × (1 sec)/(10 ft) = (d/10) sec

time flying to hive = d ft × (1 sec)/(6 ft) = (d/6) sec

d/10 + d/6 = 300 sec

:::::

d/10 + d/6 = 3d/30 +5d/30 = 8d/30 = 300

d = 300×30/8 = 1,125 ft

Ten less than 5 times the value of a number is equal to 10 times the quantity of
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the number is a

The expression for Ten less than 5 times the value of a number is given by

5a - 10

10 times the quantity of  12 more than one-fourth of the number.

a/4 is one-fourth  of number

12 more than one-fourth of the number

a/4 + 12

expression for  10 times the quantity of  12 more than one-fourth of the number. is given by

10(a/4 + 12) = 10a/4 + 12*10 = 2.5a + 120

Given that the above two expression are equal

equating them we have

5a - 10 = 2.5a + 120

adding 10 both sides

=>5a - 10+ 10  = 2.5a + 120 + 10

=> 5a = 2.5a + 130

subtracting 2.5a from both sides

=> 5a - 2.5a = 2.5a + 130 - 2.5a

=> 2.5a = 130

dividing both side by 2.5

=> a = 130/2.5 = 52

Thus, value of a is 52
