    6 km

    Explanation:

    speed of Aaron, v = 8 km/hr

    speed of Sam, v' = 6 km/hr

    time 15 min = 0.15 hr longer than the other

    Let the distance covered by both of them is d.

    Let the time taken by Aaron is t and the time taken by Sam is t + 0.25

    use the formula of distance = speed x time

    For Aaron:

    d = 8 x t ... (1)

    For Sam:

    d = 6 (t + 0.25) ... (2)

    From (1) and (2)

    8 x t = 6 (t + 0.25)

    8 t = 6t + 1.5

    2t = 1.5

    t = 0.75 hour

    So, the distance traveled by both is 8 x 0.75 = 6 km.
