Jason and Mary leave their houses at the same time. They travel towards each other, Mary at 20km/h and Jason at 15km/h. They pass each other after an hour and a half. What was the original distance between them when they started?

Mary = 20km/h Jason = 15km/h s = d/t After 1.5 hours, Mary = 30km and Jason = 22.5km 30 + 22.5 = 52.5km
