Hi, 

Let t and (t + 2hr)) represent the times at 28kmph and 24kmph respectively

D = r*t, distances the same at both speeds 



 28kmph*t = 24kmph*(t + 2hr)  

solve for t 

 28kmph*t - 24kmph*t = 48km 

    4kmpht = 48km  

     t = 12hr

   28kmph*12hr = 336km, the distance between the villages  



CHECKING our answer

  28kmph*12hr = 336km = 24kmph*14hr
