+4 Can someone help me with this one plz. A bee flies at 9 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 16 minutes, and then flies directly back to the hive at 6 feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 20 minutes.
+36943 Not sure what the question is....but maybe you want the hive to flower distance?
20 - 16 = 4 minutes of flying time .
distance / rate = time or rate * time = distance
9 *x = distance where 'x' = time at 9 ft/s
6 ( 4-x) = distance these are equal
9x = 6 (4-x)
9x = 24 - 6x
15x = 24
x = 1.6 minutes at 9 ft/s then distance = 9 ft/s * 1.6 min * 60 s / min = 864 feet
