The distance between City W and City X was 920 km apart. A convertible travelled at an average speed of 100 km/h from City W to City X. At the same time, a van travelled at an average speed of 84 km/h from City X to City W. How much further did the convertible travel than the van when the convertible met the van on the way?
Combined speed of the convertible and the van
= 100 + 84
= 184 km/h
Time taken for the convertible and the van to meet
= 920 ÷ 184
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the convertible and the van
= 100 - 84
= 16 km/h
Distance that the convertible travelled further than the van
= 5 x 16
= 80 km
Answer(s): 80 km
