it takes the riders one hour to "collide"
the fly is flying at 40 miles per hour
Two bicycle riders, Jeff and Nancy, are 25 miles apart, riding toward each other at speeds of 15 mph and 10 mph, respectively. A fly starts from Jeff and flies toward Nancy and then back to Jeff again and so on. The fly continues flying back and forth at a constant rate of 40 mph, until the bicycle riders "collide" and crush the fly. How far has the fly traveled?
