The distance between City Q and City R was 930 km apart. A bus travelled at an average speed of 97 km/h from City Q to City R. At the same time, a car travelled at an average speed of 89 km/h from City R to City Q. 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
= 97 + 89
= 186 km/h
Time taken for the bus and the car to meet
= 930 ÷ 186
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the bus and the car
= 97 - 89
= 8 km/h
Distance that the bus travelled further than the car
= 5 x 8
= 40 km
Answer(s): 40 km
