1 **  I drew a picture of the horses on the country road and the fly flying back and forth. I noticed that the horses would meet after an hour.(because they are 15 miles apart and one horse travels 8 miles in an hr and the other one travels 7 miles in an hr.) So then i figured out that the fly flies 25 miles in an hr. so that means the fly had flown 25 miles by the time they met. || **Team member 2 ** fly horse><-> < horse fly So, the fly keeps going back and forth at a constant rate but taking longer each "lap" because the horses keep getting farther apart.

Good explaination "team # 1" I agree with you. || ** Team member 4 ** ||

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? How far has the fly flew when the two horses finally meet? 25 miles  **// 5 points //**** Explain the process ** you used to solve the problem. I drew a picture of the two horses on the country road and the fly flying back and forth. I noticted also noticed that the horses would meet after an hour.(because they are 15 miles apart and one horse travels 8 miles in an hour and the other one travels 7miles in an hr. So, 8 miles plus 7 miles would be 15 miles, which was what they began with.  So then i figured out that the fly flies 25 miles in an hr. so that means the fly had flown 25 miles by the time they met. -I need to add more to this. Maybe someone else could add something.
