The number of honeybees which it will take to make the required 2 tablespoons of honey as required in the task content is; 72.
How many honeybees will it take to make 2 tablespoons of honey?
It follows from the conversion factor given in the task content that;
3 teaspoons is equivalent to 1 tablespoon.
Hence, 1/12 teaspoons is equivalent to;
= (1/12 ×1) ÷ 3
= 1/36 tablespoons.
On this note, one honeybee can make 1/36 tablespoons of honey in its lifetime.
Hence, if 2 tablespoons of honey is needed, the number of honeybees required is; 2/(1/36)
= 2 ÷ 1/36
= 2 × 36
= 72 honeybees.
