The distance between City F and City G was 830 km apart. A van travelled at an average speed of 95 km/h from City F to City G. At the same time, a car travelled at an average speed of 71 km/h from City G to City F. How much further did the van travel than the car when the van met the car on the way?
Combined speed of the van and the car
= 95 + 71
= 166 km/h
Time taken for the van and the car to meet
= 830 ÷ 166
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the van and the car
= 95 - 71
= 24 km/h
Distance that the van travelled further than the car
= 5 x 24
= 120 km
Answer(s): 120 km
