The distance between City L and City M was 850 km apart. A car travelled at an average speed of 94 km/h from City L to City M. At the same time, a bus travelled at an average speed of 76 km/h from City M to City L. How much further did the car travel than the bus when the car met the bus on the way?
Combined speed of the car and the bus
= 94 + 76
= 170 km/h
Time taken for the car and the bus to meet
= 850 ÷ 170
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the car and the bus
= 94 - 76
= 18 km/h
Distance that the car travelled further than the bus
= 5 x 18
= 90 km
Answer(s): 90 km
