Answer:

2.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that: time = distance/speed

Now, if the distance of the school from Jonathan's home is y.

At speed of 15 mph, Jonathans time is; time = y/15 hours

At 25 mph, his mother's time was;

time = y/25 hours

We are told that Jonathan was 1 mile from home when he saw his mother.

Thus means that difference in time is;

Time difference = 1/15 hours

Thus;

y/15 hours - y/25 hours = 1/15 hours

Multiply through by 75 to get;

5y - 3y = 5

2y = 5

y = 5/2

y = 2.5 miles
