Problem: a honey bee flies for 10 seconds , from a daisy to a rose . it immediately continues to a poppy , flying for 6 additional seconds . the distance the bee passed , flying from the daisy to the rose is 3 meters longer than the distance it passed flying from the rose to the poppy . the bee flies to the poppy at 3 meters per second faster than her speed flying to the rose . the bee flies how many meters per second from the daisy to the rose ?
Rationale: "let the speed be ' s ' and let the distance between rose and poppy be ' x ' the problem boils down to : rose to poppy : s + 3 = x / 6 - - - - - - - 1 daisy to rose : s = ( x + 3 ) / 10 - - - - - - 2 so from 1 we can re write x as x = 6 s + 18 substitute the value of x in 2 gives us s = 4.2 m / s a"
