The distance between City E and City F was 880 km apart. A bus travelled at an average speed of 95 km/h from City E to City F. At the same time, a van travelled at an average speed of 81 km/h from City F to City E. 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
= 95 + 81
= 176 km/h
Time taken for the bus and the van to meet
= 880 ÷ 176
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the bus and the van
= 95 - 81
= 14 km/h
Distance that the bus travelled further than the van
= 5 x 14
= 70 km
Answer(s): 70 km
