Answer: Sally will catch up with Jane after 50 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Speed of Jane of biking = 12 mph

After 10 minutes,

Speed of Sally of biking = 15 mph

Let the distance be 'x'.

According to question, our required equation becomes,

\dfrac{x}{12}-\dfrac{x}{15}=\dfrac{10}{60}\\\\\dfrac{5x-4x}{60}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\dfrac{1x}{60}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\x=10\ miles

Thus, total distance would be 10 miles.

So, the time taken by Sally to catch up with Jane is given by

\dfrac{10}{12}=\dfrac{5}{6}\times 60=50\ minutes

Hence, Sally will catch up with Jane after 50 minutes.
