Bees AGAIN!! Diff problem tho!

Logic Level 2

There are 50 flowers in a field! There are 9 bees! Every bee is allowed to go to five flowers to use its nectar before going home! If one bee (this bee is not part of the nine so actually there are ten bees totally, 9 not including him) has already went to three flowers and will go to the other two in a few minutes, how many flowers would have have been done by the time he got up again and will he have enough flowers? (Considering every bee already did all their flowers.)

45, no 78, no 56, yes 45, yes 48, yes

Because there are $9$ bees not counting the resting bee, and all of them each used all their nectar, and each bee can use his nectar on $5$ flowers, the $9$ bees used their nectar on a total of $9 \times 5 = 45$ flowers. But the resting bee also used his nectar on $3$ flowers before he rested, so the answer is $45 + 3 = \boxed{48}$ . And since there are $50$ flowers, there are $50 - 48 = 2$ flowers left, so the answer is $\boxed{Yes}$ , there are still flowers left for him.

Also, bees don't use nectar on plants in real life.

you are very smart :) try explaining this to the people who are confused pls!!
