Step-by-step explanation:
The bee is at the flower bed for 12 out of the 17 minutes that it is away from the hive. ---> 17 - 12 = 5
It travels at 10 feet per second to get there, and 8 feet per second when leaving. ---> 8 ft. per sec. ---> 10 ft. per sec.
The bee travels 10 ft. per sec. for 133.5 secs to arrive at the flower bed.
