Question 863110: two cars, 380 kilometers apart, begin driving toward each other on a long, straight highway. One car travels 85 kilometers per hour and the other 105 kilometers an hour. At the same time, a canary, starting on car one, flies back and forth between the two cars as they approach each other. If the canary flies 110 kilometers per hour and spends no time to turn around at each car, how far has it flown when the cars collide?
