Hello;
My name is Harold. My daughter received this question today and needs the answer for tommorrow's class. She is in the 7th grade. Please respond back by tonite if possible. Is the answer 5 miles? Thanks, Harold

6 MPH	                                            4 MPH
Rachel-----------------------------------------------Eli 
                      10 Miles apart

The fly is on Rachels handlebars. The fly is scared so it flys back and forth at 20 MPH. How far has the fly flown when Rachel and Eli meet?

Hi Harold,

Rachel travels at 6 MPH and Eli at 4 MPH. How long does it take them to cover the 10 miles which sepatate them?

How far does the fly travel in that time?

Cheers,
Penny
