To find the number of honeybees needed to make half a teaspoon of honey, we need to divide the amount of honey made by each honeybee in their lifetime with the desired amount of honey.
One honeybee makes 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.
Therefore, we need to divide 1/2 by 1/12 to find the number of honeybees needed.
This can be expressed as: (1/2) ÷ (1/12).
To divide fractions, multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
(1/2) ÷ (1/12) = (1/2) * (12/1).
Multiply the numerators: 1 * 12 = 12.
Multiply the denominators: 2 * 1 = 2.
So, (1/2) ÷ (1/12) = 12/2 = 6.
Therefore, 6 honeybees are needed to make half a teaspoon of honey.
