Garen observed his athletic friends , Aya and Marisa, run. The two girls ran in a 1.5-km straight dirt road. Marisa was a given a ten-second head-start. When Aya ran, she caught up with Marisa, who ran at 3.75 m/s. Both of them finished the 1000 m run, with Aya measured to finish the track at 375 seconds. Find the distance where both runners met. How long did Marisa run before she could finish the sprint?
