Given that they leave at the same instant and at this instant a bird starts to fly from Andrew to Bert (and flies at an average of 20km/h); when it reaches Bert it flies back to Andrew, then back to Bert, then back to Andrew, then back to Bert, etc., until Andrew and Bert meet, find the total distance travelled by the bird. \n" ); document.write( "
