A bee flies at 10 feet per second directly to a flower bed from its hive. The bee stays at the flower bed for 12 minutes, and then flies directly back to the hive at 8 feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 17 minutes.

Aug 26, 2018 · A bee flies at 20 feet per second directly to a flower bed from its hive. HThe bee stays at the flower bed for 15 minutes, then flies directly back to the hive at 12 feet per second. It is away from the hive fore 20 minutes total. a. What equation can you use to find the distance of the flowerbed from the hive? b. How far is the flowerbed from ...

Step-by-step explanation:

1335 ft.

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.

The bee travels 8 ft. per sec. for 166.875 secs until it gets back to the hive.

The flower bed 1335 ft. away from the hive.

I hope this helps, good luck!

step-by-step explanation:

step 1 distribute 2 to every term in the parentheses

step 2 add 10 on both sides of the equal sign

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
