The distance between City A and City B was 700 km apart. A convertible travelled at an average speed of 94 km/h from City A to City B. At the same time, a van travelled at an average speed of 81 km/h from City B to City A. How much further did the convertible travel than the van when the convertible met the van on the way?
Combined speed of the convertible and the van
= 94 + 81
= 175 km/h
Time taken for the convertible and the van to meet
= 700 ÷ 175
= 4 h
Difference in the speed between the convertible and the van
= 94 - 81
= 13 km/h
Distance that the convertible travelled further than the van
= 4 x 13
= 52 km
Answer(s): 52 km
