Question 1158914: Brad and Gary threw countless water balloons at each other. But even though they were only 50 feet apart, none hit. Now the two boys are charging each other with squirt guns. If Brad runs at 4.5 feet per second and Gary runs at 5.5 feet per second, and neither one trips, how many seconds will it be before they're face to face?
