Distance/Rate Problems
Two ladybugs begin to move towards each other from a distance of 120 feet. The first ladybug travels at a speed of 15 feet per minute, while the second ladybug moves at 5 feet per minute. Simultaneously, a bee takes off from the first ladybug and flies towards the second ladybug at a speed of 60 feet per minute. Upon reaching the second ladybug, the bee turns around and heads back to the first ladybug, continuing this pattern until the ladybugs meet. What is the total distance in feet that the bee will cover before the ladybugs meet?
