Question

If one honeybee makes 112 tease spoon of honey during its lifetime how many honeybee honeybees are needed to make 1/2 teaspoons of honey

Answer 1

This doesn't make sense. Please proofread, correct, and repost.

Answer 2

The 112 should be 1/12.

(1/2)/(1/12) * 1 = 6 Honeybees.

Answer 3

To find out how many honeybees are needed to make 1/2 teaspoon of honey, we need to know how much honey one honeybee produces in its lifetime. In this case, one honeybee produces 112 teaspoons of honey.

To calculate how many honeybees are needed, we can set up a ratio:

1 honeybee produces 112 teaspoons of honey
x honeybees produce 1/2 teaspoon of honey

Using the ratio, we can solve for x:

1 honeybee / 112 teaspoons = x honeybees / (1/2) teaspoon

Now, let's simplify the ratio:

1 honeybee / 112 teaspoons = x honeybees / (1/2) teaspoon × 2/2

1 honeybee / 112 teaspoons = 2x honeybees / 1 teaspoon

Cross-multiplying:

(1 honeybee)(1 teaspoon) = (112 teaspoons)(2x honeybees)

1 honeybee = 224x honeybees

Now solve for x:

x = 1/224

Therefore, approximately 0.0045 honeybees are needed to make 1/2 teaspoon of honey. Note that a fraction of a honeybee cannot be used practically, so we can conclude that it would take at least 1 honeybee to produce 1/2 teaspoon of honey.
