Answer:

10 miles.

Explanation:

First, it would be helpful to find out how many miles a honeybee can fly in 1 minute. To find this, divide how many miles it can fly by 60, which is how many minutes are in 1 hour.

15/60=1/4.

Then, multiply that answer by how long the bee will fly.

(1/4)*40=10.

The answer is how far the bee will fly in 40 minutes.
