The distance between City T and City U was 760 km apart. A convertible travelled at an average speed of 100 km/h from City T to City U. At the same time, a bus travelled at an average speed of 90 km/h from City U to City T. How much further did the convertible travel than the bus when the convertible met the bus on the way?
Combined speed of the convertible and the bus
= 100 + 90
= 190 km/h
Time taken for the convertible and the bus to meet
= 760 ÷ 190
= 4 h
Difference in the speed between the convertible and the bus
= 100 - 90
= 10 km/h
Distance that the convertible travelled further than the bus
= 4 x 10
= 40 km
Answer(s): 40 km
