The distance between City V and City W was 680 km apart. A bus travelled at an average speed of 96 km/h from City V to City W. At the same time, a car travelled at an average speed of 74 km/h from City W to City V. How much further did the bus travel than the car when the bus met the car on the way?
Combined speed of the bus and the car
= 96 + 74
= 170 km/h
Time taken for the bus and the car to meet
= 680 ÷ 170
= 4 h
Difference in the speed between the bus and the car
= 96 - 74
= 22 km/h
Distance that the bus travelled further than the car
= 4 x 22
= 88 km
Answer(s): 88 km
