Answer:
(a)
Equation is [tex]\frac{d}{10} +\frac{d}{6} =240[/tex]
(b)900ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distance of flower bed from hive to be d
Time the bee stays at the flower bed=11
Time the bee is away from the hive=15
Time the bed was flying to the flower bed and back to the hive will be;
15 -11=4 minutes--------------changes to seconds by multiplying by 60
=4*60=240 seconds
Formular for time is Distance/speed
Time of fright=240 seconds
Form expression for time of flying;
Time for flying from hive to flowerbed= d/10ft/s
Time for flying from flower bed to Hive= d/6ft/s
=This means
[tex]=\frac{d}{10} +\frac{d}{6} =240\\\\\\=\frac{3d+5d}{30} =240\\\\=\frac{8d}{30} =240\\\\\\8d=240*30\\\\\\8d=7200\\\\\\\\d=\frac{7200}{8} =900ft[/tex]
(a) Equation is
[tex]\frac{d}{10} +\frac{d}{6} =240[/tex]
(b) The flower bed is 900ft away from the hive
