Question 1167493: Two cars run toward each other. Their speeds are 30 kph and 40 kph. At the moment when they are 105 km apart, a bee flies at 50 kph from the bumper of the slower car to the bumper of the other and shuttles back and forth until the two vehicles collide. Find the total distance traveled by the bee in km.
The time needed for two cars to reach the meeting point is = = 1.5 hours.
The traveled distance by the bee during this time is 1.5*50 = 75 kilometers. ANSWER
