Calculate how much the original speed has to increase in order to reach a certain total distance in a certain time.

Treadmills allow people to exercise by running and walking without leaving their houses.

A runner intends to run for 30 minutes and cover a distance of 6 km.

She runs at a steady speed of 10.5 kilometres per hour for the first 12 minutes, and sees she is going to have to speed up in order to complete the distance in the time she has set for herself.

By how much does this runner have to increase her speed to complete the 6 km workout in the target time?
