The distance between City W and City X was 720 km apart. A car travelled at an average speed of 98 km/h from City W to City X. At the same time, a bus travelled at an average speed of 82 km/h from City X to City W. How much further did the car travel than the bus when the car met the bus on the way?
Combined speed of the car and the bus
= 98 + 82
= 180 km/h
Time taken for the car and the bus to meet
= 720 ÷ 180
= 4 h
Difference in the speed between the car and the bus
= 98 - 82
= 16 km/h
Distance that the car travelled further than the bus
= 4 x 16
= 64 km
Answer(s): 64 km
