The distance between City J and City K was 830 km apart. A van travelled at an average speed of 92 km/h from City J to City K. At the same time, a convertible travelled at an average speed of 74 km/h from City K to City J. How much further did the van travel than the convertible when the van met the convertible on the way?
Combined speed of the van and the convertible
= 92 + 74
= 166 km/h
Time taken for the van and the convertible to meet
= 830 ÷ 166
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the van and the convertible
= 92 - 74
= 18 km/h
Distance that the van travelled further than the convertible
= 5 x 18
= 90 km
Answer(s): 90 km
