Fara and Mary started jogging from the same point of the 15 km track round a park. They started at the same time but in opposite directions. Fara jogged past Mary after 10 km. Both of them did not change their speeds throughout. Fara took 30 min to complete one round. What was Mary's jogging speed in m/min?
Distance that Mary jogged when they passed each other
= 15 - 10
= 5 km

Time that Fara took to jog 15 km = 30 min

Time that Fara took to jog 1 km
= 30 ÷ 15
= 2 min

Time that Fara took to jog 10 km
= 10 x 2
= 20 min

When Fara took 20 min to jog 10 km, Mary took the same time to jog 5 km.

1 km = 1000 m
5 km = 5000 m

Mary's jogging speed
= 5000 ÷ 20
= 250 m/min

Answer(s): 250 m/min
