Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
GIVEN: A boy cyclist and a girl cyclist are miles apart and pedaling toward each other. The boy's rate is miles per hour, and the girl's rate is 6 miles per hour. There is also a friendly fly zooming continuously back and forth from one bike to the other. If the fly's rate is per hour.
TO FIND: By the time the cyclists reach each other, how far does the fly fly?
SOLUTION:
Boy's speed of riding cycle
Girl's speed of riding cycle
Total distance between both
as both are heading towards each other
relative speed of boy and girls
Time taken by both cyclist to reach each other
Speed of fly
distance traveled by fly by the time cyclists reach each other
Hence the fly far by the time both cyclists reach each other.
