Answer 2

The bee traveled 11.7 meters.

Explanation:

A bee flew 840 cm first to land on a flower to collect some pollen and then flew another 330 cm to get back to her hive.

For finding the total distance traveled, we need to just add 840 cm and 330 cm.

So,
`(840+330) cm = 1170 cm`

We know that, 1 meter = 100 cm. That means, for converting 'cm' into 'meter' , we need to divide by 100.

Thus,
`1170 cm= (1170)/(100) meter = 11.7 meter`

So, the bee traveled 11.7 meters.
