A bee flies at 20 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 12 ​minutes, and then flies directly back to the hive at 16 feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 17 minutes.  

• What equation can you use to find the distance of the flowerbed from the​ hive?  Answer: (D/1200) + 12 + (D/960) = 17 (Note: Instead of D, the variable can be x or any letter you choose).
  
• How far is the flowerbed from the​ hive?  Answer: 2666.67 feet.  This can also be rounded up to 2667 or expressed as a fraction as 2666 2/3.
