The distance between City C and City D was 940 km apart. A car travelled at an average speed of 100 km/h from City C to City D. At the same time, a convertible travelled at an average speed of 88 km/h from City D to City C. How much further did the car travel than the convertible when the car met the convertible on the way?
Combined speed of the car and the convertible
= 100 + 88
= 188 km/h
Time taken for the car and the convertible to meet
= 940 ÷ 188
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the car and the convertible
= 100 - 88
= 12 km/h
Distance that the car travelled further than the convertible
= 5 x 12
= 60 km
Answer(s): 60 km
