Foraging bees often move in straight lines away from and toward their hives. Suppose a bee starts at its hive and flies 680 m due east, then flies 430 m west, then 620 m east.

Respuesta :

Represent the motion in the number line.

Movement to the east is movement to the negative side. Movement to the west is movement to the positive side.

Total displacement = -680m + 430m - 620m = -870m

Total displacement = 860m to the east.
