1 ** || ** Team member ** 2 || ** Team member 3 ** ||  || Hi I think the first thing we need to do is get all the data for when the horses meet. Then I think we can tackle the fly next. If we set up the horses as 8x+7x=15miles we can quickly get to the conclusion that it took them one hour to meet. Thats a nice friendly number so that helps. If It takes an hour for them to meet and the fly travels at 25 miles per hour constanly then the fly would travel 25 miles. 25 miles is my final answer. Since there are no objections I am keeping this as our final answer. Pleasure working with you team member 2 || hi... you can call me uhhh nevamind..... lol. mmm, I agree with you for the data on the horses meet and stuff. I made a chart, and I drew a visual graph/line thing, so I wouldn't get confused.R*T=D If you simplify 8x+7x=15 it would be 15x=15. 13/13 cancels out and 15/13 equals 1.153846154, which represents the time they walked around until Or something like that, right? lol Since the fly traveled at 25mph, you know that the fly averagely travels 25 miles in an hour. And, in an hour the two horses meet. The question asks, how far the fly has traveled when the horses meet, and that is 25 miles. I agree with the guy over there! :D <-- (or girl) || I agree with member number 1. First we have to find out what the question is asking. It is asking how far has the fly flown in distance when the horses meet. It is definitely a R ×T=D.First I made a chart. As you can see 8x+7x=15. This equals 15x=15. This can be simplified to x=1. Now we know that it will take the horses 1(x) hour to meet. If it takes the horses 1 hour to meet and the fly is flying back and forth at a rate of 25mph, the fly would travel 25 miles. I agree with both members of my team. ||  || Rate × || Time = || Distance || 15x 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? To find how far the fly travels in its flights between the two horses 25 miles is how far the fly traveled I found that it took the horses an hour to reach each other. The problem stated that it took an hour for the fly to travel 25 miles. If the fly traveled constantly, which it did, then no matter what it should have taken an hour to travel 25 miles That is how we got our answer.

If you use multiple distance, rate, time problems you will eventualy come to 25 miles as an answer.
