Oliver and Jenson started jogging from the same point. Jenson started jogging 2 minutes earlier than Oliver. Oliver's jogging speed was 500 m/min and Jenson's jogging speed was 250 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

1. How long did it take for Oliver to catch up with Jenson? 
2. What distance would Jenson have jogged when Oliver caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Oliver	Jenson
Speed	500 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		2 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		500 m

(a)
Distance that Jenson covered when he jogged 2 minutes earlier
= 2 x 250
= 500 m

Distance that Oliver covered more than Jenson per min
= 500 - 250
= 250 m

Time that Oliver needed to take to cover the additional 500 m
= 500 ÷ 250
= 2 min

(b)
Time that Jenson would had jogged when Oliver caught up with him
= 2 + 2
= 4 min

Distance that Jenson would have jogged when Oliver caught up with him
= 4 x 250
= 1000 m

Answer(s): (a) 2 min; (b) 1000 m
