The distance between City A and City B was 740 km apart. A car travelled at an average speed of 95 km/h from City A to City B. At the same time, a van travelled at an average speed of 90 km/h from City B to City A. How much further did the car travel than the van when the car met the van on the way?
Combined speed of the car and the van
= 95 + 90
= 185 km/h
Time taken for the car and the van to meet
= 740 ÷ 185
= 4 h
Difference in the speed between the car and the van
= 95 - 90
= 5 km/h
Distance that the car travelled further than the van
= 4 x 5
= 20 km
Answer(s): 20 km
