Two
cars, 10 miles apart, are travelling towards each other at 10
miles/hr. A crazy bird flies from the first car towards the
second car at 20 miles/hr. When it reaches the second car it
turns back towards the first car. It continues to do this, flying
back and forth until the cars have an auto accident. Besides
wondering what insurance the drivers have, how far does the bird
travel?
Hint:
There are two ways to do this problem: one easy, one harder. Can
you get them both?
