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?

Answer Posted / ken

A distance between LA and New York is not given so we cannot
give a distance for the bird. However, we can devise a
formula that indicates how much time it will take for the
trains to meet. Once we know how long it takes for the
trains to meet we then simply multiply 25 mph by the time to
give us the distance the bird flies.
