A bee flies at 6 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 14 minutes, and then flies directly back to the hive at 4 feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 17 minutes. What equation can you use to find the distance of the flowerbed from the hive?

  1. The equation that can be used to find the distance of the flowerbed from the​ hive is as follows:
    10d/24 = 180

    How to find distance?

    Distance is the total movement of an object without any regard to direction.
    Therefore, distance can be represented mathematically as follows;
    speed = distance / time
    distance = speed × time
    time = distance / speed
    Hence, the first journey from the flowerbed to the hive is 6 ft per seconds.
    t₁ = d / 6
    The second journey.
    t₂ = d / 4
    The total time the bees use to fly = 17  – 14  = 3 minutes = 180 seconds
    Therefore,
    t₁ + t₂ = d / 6 + d / 4
    t₁ + t₂ = 4d + 6d / 24
    t₁ + t₂ =  10d / 24
    The equation that can be used to find the distance of the flowerbed from the​ hive is as follows:
    10d/24 = 180
