La marsopa continua nadando de un lado a otro entre las dos lanchas a una velocidad de 30 mph hasta que las dos lanchas se encuentran y chocan, desafortunadamente la marsopa estaba entre ellos. ¿Qué tan lejos nadó la pobre marsopa?
Two motorboats start from marinas on islands 56 miles apart in the Pacific Ocean, each boat heading directly toward the other marina.
One boat is traveling at 12 mph and the other one at 20 mph. Just as they start out a porpoise races from the first boat toward the second boat,
and upon reaching it returns immediately to the first boat.
The porpoise continues racing back and forth between the two boats at a speed of 30 mph until the two boats meet and collide, with the unfortunate porpoise between them. How far had that poor porpoise swum?
