The distance between City F and City G was 890 km apart. A van travelled at an average speed of 94 km/h from City F to City G. At the same time, a car travelled at an average speed of 84 km/h from City G to City F. How much further did the van travel than the car when the van met the car on the way?
Combined speed of the van and the car
= 94 + 84
= 178 km/h
Time taken for the van and the car to meet
= 890 ÷ 178
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the van and the car
= 94 - 84
= 10 km/h
Distance that the van travelled further than the car
= 5 x 10
= 50 km
Answer(s): 50 km
