The distance between City B and City C was 810 km apart. A convertible travelled at an average speed of 92 km/h from City B to City C. At the same time, a car travelled at an average speed of 70 km/h from City C to City B. How much further did the convertible travel than the car when the convertible met the car on the way?
Combined speed of the convertible and the car
= 92 + 70
= 162 km/h
Time taken for the convertible and the car to meet
= 810 ÷ 162
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the convertible and the car
= 92 - 70
= 22 km/h
Distance that the convertible travelled further than the car
= 5 x 22
= 110 km
Answer(s): 110 km
