Question

A bee flies at 6 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive the bee stays at the flowerbed for 17 minutes, and then flies directly back to the hive at 4 feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 22 mins

Answer 1

576 feet.

Explanation:

5 - 13 = 2 minutes x 60 =120 seconds that the bee spent flying back and forth.

a - Distance = Time x Speed

Time =Distance / Speed

D / 12 + D / 8 = 120, solve for D

b - D = 576 feet from the hive to the flowerbed.
