The distance between City E and City F was 890 km apart. A bus travelled at an average speed of 95 km/h from City E to City F. At the same time, a car travelled at an average speed of 83 km/h from City F to City E. How much further did the bus travel than the car when the bus met the car on the way?
Combined speed of the bus and the car
= 95 + 83
= 178 km/h
Time taken for the bus and the car to meet
= 890 ÷ 178
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the bus and the car
= 95 - 83
= 12 km/h
Distance that the bus travelled further than the car
= 5 x 12
= 60 km
Answer(s): 60 km
