    It took 50 hours to produce 3 oz of honey.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Rate of production = 1.5% per hour

    Initial amount of honey = 4 oz

    Final amount of honey = 7 oz

    Honey produced = 3 oz

    Amount produced = (initial amount x rate x time) / 100

    3 = (4 x 1.5 x t) / 100

    300 = 6t

    t = 300/6

    t = 50 hours

    It took 50 hours for the bees to produce 3 oz of honey.
