The distance between City F and City G was 900 km apart. A convertible travelled at an average speed of 98 km/h from City F to City G. At the same time, a bus travelled at an average speed of 82 km/h from City G to City F. 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
= 98 + 82
= 180 km/h
Time taken for the convertible and the bus to meet
= 900 ÷ 180
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the convertible and the bus
= 98 - 82
= 16 km/h
Distance that the convertible travelled further than the bus
= 5 x 16
= 80 km
Answer(s): 80 km
