There are 700 bees in a hive. There are twice as many worker bees as baby bees, and there are twice as many babies as queens.  How many worker bees are there?
Define a variable ** Let x represent the number of queens
How many baby bees are there? ** Babies:2x
How many worker bees are there? ** Workers:2(2x)=4x
Write an equation ** Total:x+2x+4x=700
Combine like terms ** 7x=700
Divide by 7 ** x=<<100=100>>100 queen bees
How many worker bees are there? ** Workers:4(100)=400 worker bees
#### 400
