The distance between City L and City M was 910 km apart. A car travelled at an average speed of 94 km/h from City L to City M. At the same time, a convertible travelled at an average speed of 88 km/h from City M to City L. How much further did the car travel than the convertible when the car met the convertible on the way?
Combined speed of the car and the convertible
= 94 + 88
= 182 km/h
Time taken for the car and the convertible to meet
= 910 ÷ 182
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the car and the convertible
= 94 - 88
= 6 km/h
Distance that the car travelled further than the convertible
= 5 x 6
= 30 km
Answer(s): 30 km
