Two ants, Andy and Ashley, went to visit their friend. Andy crawled the whole way, but Ashley spent half of the way riding on a
caterpillar, which was two times slower than crawling. Ashley spent the second half of the journey riding on a grasshopper, which was 5 times faster than crawling. Which ant got to their friend's house first, if they left at the same time? PLZ EXPLAIN IT VERY SIMPLE

Answer:
AB ≈ 5.39
Step-by-step explanation:
If you draw a line down from A, and another line left from B, the lines will intersect to form a right triangle with AB as the hypotenuse. You can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length AB.
The vertical leg is 2 grid squares (units) long. The horizontal leg is 5 grid squares (units) long.
Then the hypotenuse, AB, is ...
AB = √(2² +5²) = √(4 +25) = √29
AB ≈ 5.39
The length of AB is about 5.39 units.
