The distance between City J and City K was 660 km apart. A bus travelled at an average speed of 88 km/h from City J to City K. At the same time, a car travelled at an average speed of 77 km/h from City K to City J. 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
= 88 + 77
= 165 km/h
Time taken for the bus and the car to meet
= 660 ÷ 165
= 4 h
Difference in the speed between the bus and the car
= 88 - 77
= 11 km/h
Distance that the bus travelled further than the car
= 4 x 11
= 44 km
Answer(s): 44 km
