Question

Bees are leaving their hive at a rate of 10 per hour and they are reentering the hive at a rate of 6 per hour If the hive starts with 100 bees how long will it take before the hive is empty

Answer 1

25 hours is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking in consideration that there are ten bees leaving the hive but there are other six reentering, it means that there are four bees leaving the hive as a net rate. So, if we take this in consideration, one hundred bees would leave the hive empty in 25 hours.
