The distance between City K and City L was 930 km apart. A van travelled at an average speed of 96 km/h from City K to City L. At the same time, a bus travelled at an average speed of 90 km/h from City L to City K. 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
= 96 + 90
= 186 km/h
Time taken for the van and the bus to meet
= 930 ÷ 186
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the van and the bus
= 96 - 90
= 6 km/h
Distance that the van travelled further than the bus
= 5 x 6
= 30 km
Answer(s): 30 km
