second. It is away from the hive for a total of 20 minutes

b. How far is the flowerbed from the hive

Respuesta :

Answer: T=x+y

T=600 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

T=Total distance

a. x=distance in feet/second traveled from hive to flowerbed

y=distance in feet/second traveled to hive

20*60=1200 seconds

18*60=1080 seconds

T=x+y ==> equation

b. x/6=y/4=60 seconds ==> 1 min

x/6=60

x=360 feet

y/4=60

y=240 feet

x+y=

360+240=600 ft
