Newton has 6 beehives on his farm in Quebec. Each hive produces about 40 pounds of honey each year. How many pounds of honey does Newton get from his bees every year?
For this case when defining variables we have: x: number of beehives y: amount of honey produced We write the function that models the problem: [tex]y = 40x
[/tex] For 6 beehives we have: [tex]y = 40 (6)
y = 240 pounds[/tex] Answer: Newton gets 240 pounds of honey from his bees every year
