The distance between City T and City U was 890 km apart. A bus travelled at an average speed of 96 km/h from City T to City U. At the same time, a van travelled at an average speed of 82 km/h from City U to City T. How much further did the bus travel than the van when the bus met the van on the way?
Combined speed of the bus and the van
= 96 + 82
= 178 km/h
Time taken for the bus and the van to meet
= 890 ÷ 178
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the bus and the van
= 96 - 82
= 14 km/h
Distance that the bus travelled further than the van
= 5 x 14
= 70 km
Answer(s): 70 km
