The distance between City S and City T was 890 km apart. A car travelled at an average speed of 95 km/h from City S to City T. At the same time, a van travelled at an average speed of 83 km/h from City T to City S. How much further did the car travel than the van when the car met the van on the way?
Combined speed of the car and the van
= 95 + 83
= 178 km/h
Time taken for the car and the van to meet
= 890 ÷ 178
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the car and the van
= 95 - 83
= 12 km/h
Distance that the car travelled further than the van
= 5 x 12
= 60 km
Answer(s): 60 km
