If one honeybee makes 1 twelfth teaspoon of honey during its lifetime, how any honeybees are needed to make 1 half teaspoon of honey ? ? i need by 12/7/17

There are a fews ways you can set this problem up. Here is one way

So once honey bee can make 1 / 12 of honey  so we can say but the question at hand is how many honeybees are needed to make 1 half teaspoon of honey or we could say 6/12 teaspoon. SO know our problem looks like the following



Now all we need to do is solve for x


So it would take 6 honeybees to make 1 half teaspoon of honey.
