one bee leaves the hive and another bee leaves the flowerbed. the bees fly toward each other and meet halfway between the hive and the flowerbed, which are 720m apart. the bee who leaves the flowerbed leaves 1 minute after the bee who leaves the hive, but flies 4m/min faster. find the speed of each bee

36 m/min and 40 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

set up the variables

d:

720/2 --> 360 m for each bee

t:

bee 1 --> x

bee 2 --> x-1

s:

bee 1 --> 360/x

bee 2 --> 360/x-1

set up equation:

360/x - 360/x-1  =  4

solve --> x= 10

substitute:

bee 1 --> 360/10

bee 2 --> 360/10 + 4

bee 1 --> 36 m/min

bee 2 --> 40 m/min

Speeds of the the bees are  

36 m/min and  

 40 m/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

50*10 is greater

step-by-step explanation:

if you add the zero from 10 to 50, it will give you a bigger number.
