Guest Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 There are two bicyclists 716 miles apart. Each of the bicyclists are going at 358 miles per hours toward each other. A fly is flying between the two bikes going back and forth at the speed of 2.16 mph. When the bikes crash how far has the fly flown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 to make it a bit harder you can try to solve it with the following information: The two bikers are 896.856 miles appart -name------average speed------peak speed-----lowest spead----speed 4.5 miles in - -- Biker one 448.428 796.479 108.3 108.4 Fly 2.18 2.22 1.08 1.456 Biker one 448.428 786.279 220.9 605.9845 When the bikes crash how far has the fly flown?

0 Guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 2.16 miles. If they meet in one hour(each at 358) then the fly would have been flying for one hour at 2.16 MPH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
