Speed PSLE 2010 P2 Q5

Faizal and Gary ran in a race. When Gary had completed the race, Faizal had only run 5/8 of the distance. Gary's speed was 75 m/min faster than Faizal's speed. Both of them did not change their speeds throughout the race. What was Faizal's speed in m/min?


3 u  -->  75 m/min

5 u  -->  5/3  x  75  =  125  m/min

It was  125  m/min.

  2. 125m/m:
    x is spees of gary
    y is speed of faizal
    x-y=75
    75 divide by 3=25
    25(5)=125.....................i got the 5 from [5]/8
