Answer:

Bumble Bee: 180 beats per second

Honey Bee: 210 beats per second.

Explanation:

To first figure this out, you need to convert this data into fractional ratios.

For this scenario (beats/seconds) so the fractions would be
(2340)/(13)
and
(1470)/(7).

Now that we have these we need to make the denominator equal 1. This will show us the beats per second for each bee. To do this divide the top and the bottom by the said denominator.

-

Bumble Bee:


(2340)/(13)


(2340/13)/(13/13)


(180)/(1)

In this case, the Bumble Bee beats its wings at a ratio of 180 beats every second.

---------

Honey Bee:


(1470)/(7)


(1470/7)/(7/7)


(210)/(1)

In this case, the Honey Bee beats its wings at a ratio of 210 beats per second.
