1. Calculate Maverick's jogging speed

Distance =3 km=3000 m= 3\text{ km} = 3000\text{ m}
Maverick's speed =300024=125 m/min= \frac{3000}{24} = 125\text{ m/min}

2. Calculate the difference in speed between Nathan and Maverick

Difference in distance after 15 min =825 m= 825\text{ m}
Difference in speed =82515=55 m/min= \frac{825}{15} = 55\text{ m/min}

3. Calculate Nathan's jogging speed

Nathan's speed =125+55=180 m/min= 125 + 55 = 180\text{ m/min}

Answer

180180
