Question

I need help by 12/7/17

Answer 1

There are a fews ways you can set this problem up. Here is one way

So once honey bee can make 1 / 12 of honey so we can say
`(1)/(12)x` but the question at hand is how many honeybees are needed to make 1 half teaspoon of honey or we could say 6/12 teaspoon. SO know our problem looks like the following


`(1)/(12)x = (6)/(12)`

Now all we need to do is solve for x

`(1)/(12)x = (6)/(12)`

`x = 6`
So it would take 6 honeybees to make 1 half teaspoon of honey.
