The distance between City J and City K was 810 km apart. A van travelled at an average speed of 88 km/h from City J to City K. At the same time, a bus travelled at an average speed of 74 km/h from City K to City J. How much further did the van travel than the bus when the van met the bus on the way?
Combined speed of the van and the bus
= 88 + 74
= 162 km/h
Time taken for the van and the bus to meet
= 810 ÷ 162
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the van and the bus
= 88 - 74
= 14 km/h
Distance that the van travelled further than the bus
= 5 x 14
= 70 km
Answer(s): 70 km
