The distance between City S and City T was 890 km apart. A bus travelled at an average speed of 94 km/h from City S to City T. At the same time, a van travelled at an average speed of 84 km/h from City T to City S. 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
= 94 + 84
= 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
= 94 - 84
= 10 km/h
Distance that the bus travelled further than the van
= 5 x 10
= 50 km
Answer(s): 50 km
