There were two trains on the same track. One going north one going south. They were moving at 75 miles per hour. They had decided to crash in to each other. They were 3oo miles apart. Along came a fly he saw what they were doing. He decided he would fly back and forth between them until they hit the fly was flying at5o miles per hour. Question: how many miles did fly fly before they crashed?

Well they would meet halfway so would only travel 150 miles. At 75 MPH it would take 2 hours. The fly would have fly 100 miles if he was flying 50 miles in 1 hour

they are going toward each other not away from each other. Like the train in the north is going south and the train in they south is going north
