The distance between City F and City G was 920 km apart. A van travelled at an average speed of 98 km/h from City F to City G. At the same time, a convertible travelled at an average speed of 86 km/h from City G to City F. How much further did the van travel than the convertible when the van met the convertible on the way?
Combined speed of the van and the convertible
= 98 + 86
= 184 km/h
Time taken for the van and the convertible to meet
= 920 ÷ 184
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the van and the convertible
= 98 - 86
= 12 km/h
Distance that the van travelled further than the convertible
= 5 x 12
= 60 km
Answer(s): 60 km
