The distance between City F and City G was 760 km apart. A bus travelled at an average speed of 80 km/h from City F to City G. At the same time, a car travelled at an average speed of 72 km/h from City G to City F. 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
= 80 + 72
= 152 km/h
Time taken for the bus and the car to meet
= 760 ÷ 152
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the bus and the car
= 80 - 72
= 8 km/h
Distance that the bus travelled further than the car
= 5 x 8
= 40 km
Answer(s): 40 km
