The distance between City E and City F was 840 km apart. A bus travelled at an average speed of 93 km/h from City E to City F. At the same time, a convertible travelled at an average speed of 75 km/h from City F to City E. How much further did the bus travel than the convertible when the bus met the convertible on the way?
Combined speed of the bus and the convertible
= 93 + 75
= 168 km/h
Time taken for the bus and the convertible to meet
= 840 ÷ 168
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the bus and the convertible
= 93 - 75
= 18 km/h
Distance that the bus travelled further than the convertible
= 5 x 18
= 90 km
Answer(s): 90 km
