can you help me with this? This is the problem
An Acara traveled from Meridell to Brightvale, 50 miles away, with his pet Pawkeet. When he arrived in Brightvale, he let the pawkeet fly free while he traveled back to Meridell, at a speed of 10 miles per hour. The pawkeet, who flies at 25 miles per hour, arrived at Meridell and promptly turned around until he got to the Acara. Once he got to the Acara, he turned around and returned to Meridell. He continued to fly back and forth between the Acara and Meridell until the Acara reached Meridell.
Its from Neopets and i would greatly appreciate some help...thank you!
They key is total travel time.
The person walks 50 miles @ 10 miles/hour. That is 5 hours.
The bird flies 25 mph for 5 hours = 125 miles.
As mentioned in another thread, add the first 50 miles traveled.
Ok thank you SO much for all your help!
