The distance between City F and City G was 700 km apart. A car travelled at an average speed of 100 km/h from City F to City G. At the same time, a van travelled at an average speed of 75 km/h from City G to City F. How much further did the car travel than the van when the car met the van on the way?
Combined speed of the car and the van
= 100 + 75
= 175 km/h
Time taken for the car and the van to meet
= 700 ÷ 175
= 4 h
Difference in the speed between the car and the van
= 100 - 75
= 25 km/h
Distance that the car travelled further than the van
= 4 x 25
= 100 km
Answer(s): 100 km
