If a bee flies 6km/h how long will it take to reach a flower that is 1.2 km from the hive?

Pov your in 7th grade science and this was one of your vocab questions.

wait, what? just give us the frickin' answer!!!!

12min

Cross multiply and solve for x

6/60 = 1.2/x

Well, my friend, let's see what we have here. If the bee is buzzing along at a jazzy speed of 6 km/h, and the flower is a mere 1.2 km away, we can calculate how long it will take.

To do this, we take the distance of 1.2 km and divide it by the bee's speed of 6 km/h, and voila! We get the answer. So, 1.2 km divided by 6 km/h gives us 0.2 hours.

Now, let me put this into perspective for you. That's about 12 minutes. So, in just about the same time it takes to pop some popcorn in the microwave or scroll through your social media feed, our little buzzy friend will have reached the flower. Speedy bee, I must say.

To calculate the time it takes for the bee to reach the flower, we can use the formula:

Time = Distance / Speed

Here, the distance is 1.2 km and the speed of the bee is 6 km/h. Plugging these values into the formula, we have:

Time = 1.2 km / 6 km/h

To simplify this calculation, we can convert the units to the same format. Since both the distance and speed are in kilometers, we can simply divide the distance by the speed:

Time = 1.2 km / 6 km/h = 0.2 h

Therefore, it will take the bee 0.2 hours (or 12 minutes) to reach the flower.
