I was doing it with a different way, like
16th: 6(1.2)
17th:6(1.2)^2 and so on... so that's why I am having trouble with 5

first part

75 minutes to cover 15 Km

so the pace is 5 minutes every km
so time increases by 20%

5 x 1.2 (minutes) for the the 16th km
(5 x 1.2)/60 (hours) for the the 16th km

and so on
