One train leaves Los Angeles at 15mph heading for New York.
Another train leaves from New York at 20mph heading for Los
Angeles on the same track. If a bird, flying at 25mph,
leaves from Los Angeles at the same time as the train and
flies back and forth between the two trains until they
collide, how far will the bird have traveled?

Ugh... The question is not looking for an answer, it's
looking for how you approach the problem. You know there is
no 'right' answer because even solving for the unknown
distance will get you a wrong answer because it assumes the
bird must make the same path as the trains which is
incorrect. The bird can fly strait, while the trains can
not. So even .714 X is incorrect. There is no answer they
just want to see how you answer it.
