1 ** I drew a picture to try to explain it. ||  **Team member** 2 i agree with team member #3 this is a distance arate and time problem so we could make a chart and again i am confused abotu how it is 36 min? where did we get that from is that the least common multiple or something? || Team member 3 **I'm thinking that we can make a chart showing for distance rate and time since the problem already explains each one.** I agree with both 1 and 41 yet i dont get why x would equal 36 minutes to travel 15 miles? Can some one help? || ** Team member 4 ** Ok, I decided to draw a picture with the information. I found that when one horse walked 8 miles and the other walked 7 miles it would be 15 miles in an hour. Then, I made an equation out of it to figure out how far the fly woulf fly in an hour. The equation was __15__= __x__ x=36 minutes to travel 15 miles. 25 60 Then, I set up a second equation to see how many more miles the fly would fly to be an hour. __24__ = __x__ x=10 miles to travel for 24 minutes. 60 25 Then, I added the 10 miles to the 15 miles to get __**//25 miles all together//**__. Ok, that's what I did sorry if I'm wrong and stuff. ||

Two horses approach each other along the same country road, one walking at 8 mph, and the other at 7 mph. When the horses are 15 miles apart, a horsefly leaves one horse and flies at 25 mph towards the other. No sooner does the fly reach that horse than it turns around (losing no time on the turn) and returns to the first horse. If the fly continues to fly back and forth between the approaching horses, how far has the fly flown when the horses meet? The problem is looking to find out how many miles a fly has flown between two horses when they meet. The fly has flown 25 miles when the horses meet. . We found that when one horse walked 8 miles and the other walked 7 miles it would be 15 miles in an hour. Then, we made an equation out of it to figure out how far the fly woulf fly in an hour. The equation was __15__= __x__ x=36 minutes to travel 15 miles. 25 60 Then, we set up a second equation to see how many more miles the fly would fly to be an hour. __24__ = __x__ x=10 miles to travel for 24 minutes. 60 25 Then, we added the 10 miles to the 15 miles to get __**//25 miles all together//**__.
