The distance between City B and City C was 820 km apart. A convertible travelled at an average speed of 94 km/h from City B to City C. At the same time, a van travelled at an average speed of 70 km/h from City C to City B. How much further did the convertible travel than the van when the convertible met the van on the way?
Combined speed of the convertible and the van
= 94 + 70
= 164 km/h
Time taken for the convertible and the van to meet
= 820 ÷ 164
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the convertible and the van
= 94 - 70
= 24 km/h
Distance that the convertible travelled further than the van
= 5 x 24
= 120 km
Answer(s): 120 km
