Question

A bee flies at 12 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for ​11 minutes, and then flies directly back to the hive at 8 feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 14 minutes. a. What equation can you use to find the distance of the flowerbed from the​ hive? b. How far is the flowerbed from the​ hive? a. Write the equation. Let d be the distance of the flowerbed from the hive. Please answer quickly

Answer 1

Answer:

A bee flies at the speed of 12 feet per second to a flowerbed from its hive.

Speed = 12 feet per second or 12×60 = 720 feet per minute

Let the distance of hive from the flowerbed = d

Then time (t) taken by the bee to cover this distance = minute

Bee stays at the flowerbed for the time = 19 minutes

Bee flies back to hive from the flowerbed with the speed = 8 feet per second or 8×60 = 480 feet per minute

Time (t') to come back to the hive =

Now total time taken by the bee to come back to its hive =

a). Now the equation to find the distance will be

b).

5d = 5760

d = 1152 feet

c).
