A bee flies at 10 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 15 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.

(a)

Equation is  

(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 minuteschanges 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

(a) Equation is

(b) The flower bed is 900ft away from the hive
