Two ants, Andy and Ashley, went to visit their friend. Andy crawled the whole way, but Ashley spent half of the way riding on a caterpillar, which was two times slower than crawling. Ashley spent the second half of the journey riding on a grasshopper, which was 5 times faster than crawling. Which ant got to their friend's house first, if they left at the same time? PLZ EXPLAIN IT VERY SIMPLE

Answer:

Andy

Explanation:

Ashely rode the caterpillar till the half of her journey. And Andy crawled all the way.

Crawling is twice as fast as riding the caterpillar, so by the time Ashley got to the half of her journey, Andy would have already reached their friends house.
