Two turtles Ken and Ten start at the same time towards each other at a distance of 150m. The rate of Ken is 10 m/s while that of Ten is 20 m/s. A fly flies from one turtle to another at the same time that the turtle start to move towards each other. The speed of the fly is 100 m/s. Find the total distance travelled by the fly until the turtles meet.
***
speed at which ken and ten are approaching each other=10+20=30 m/s
travel time when they meet=150/30=5 s
Total distance traveled by fly=100*5=500 m
