if one honeybee makes 2/5 teaspoon of honey during its lifetime .how many 6/10 honeybee are needed to make teaspoon of honey
45
clearly wrong, since 45 * 6/10 = 27
Not sure what a "6/10 honeybee" is, since they usually come in whole-number amounts. But
(2/5) / (6/10) = 2/5 * 10/6 = 2/3
To find out how many 6/10 honeybees are needed to make 1 teaspoon of honey, we first need to determine the amount of honey produced by one honeybee. We are given that one honeybee makes 2/5 teaspoon of honey during its lifetime.
Let's calculate the honey produced by a single honeybee:
1 honeybee = 2/5 teaspoon of honey
Now, since we want to know how many 6/10 honeybees are needed to make 1 teaspoon of honey, we can set up a proportion:
(2/5 teaspoon of honey) / (1 honeybee) = (1 teaspoon of honey) / (x honeybees)
To solve for 'x' (the number of honeybees), we can cross-multiply and solve for 'x':
(2/5) * x = 1
Multiplying both sides by 5/2 to isolate 'x':
x = (1) * (5/2)
Simplifying:
x = 5/2
Therefore, it takes 5/2 or 2.5 honeybees to make 1 teaspoon of honey.
Note: Since we can't have a fraction of a honeybee, we can say that it takes approximately 3 honeybees to make 1 teaspoon of honey, as we can't have a fraction in the context of the question.
