Question

a swarm of bees went to collect honey from a mustard field. Three fourthof the rest went to a rose garden. The rest ten were still undecided.
How many bees were there in all?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of bees in the swarm be 'x'.

Now according to question,

Half a swarm of bees went to collect honey from a mustard field.

number of bees went to collect honey from a mustard field =

Also Given:

Three fourth of the rest went to a rose garden.

number of bees went to rose garden =

Number of bees undecided = 10

Now we know that;

total number of bees is equal to sum of number of bees went to collect honey from a mustard field and number of bees went to rose garden and Number of bees undecided.

framing in equation form we get;

Now making the denominator common using LCM we get;

Hence there are total of 80 bees in the swarm.
