The distance between City P and City Q was 700 km apart. A car travelled at an average speed of 94 km/h from City P to City Q. At the same time, a van travelled at an average speed of 81 km/h from City Q to City P. 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
= 94 + 81
= 175 km/h
Time taken for the car and the van to meet
= 700 ÷ 175
= 4 h
Difference in the speed between the car and the van
= 94 - 81
= 13 km/h
Distance that the car travelled further than the van
= 4 x 13
= 52 km
Answer(s): 52 km
