Nick and Owen started jogging from the same point. Owen started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Nick. Nick's jogging speed was 450 m/min and Owen's jogging speed was 150 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Nick	Owen
Speed	450 m/min	150 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1200 m

(a)
Distance that Owen covered when he jogged 8 minutes earlier
= 8 x 150
= 1200 m

Distance that Nick covered more than Owen per min
= 450 - 150
= 300 m

Time that Nick needed to take to cover the additional 1200 m
= 1200 ÷ 300
= 4 min

(b)
Time that Owen would had jogged when Nick caught up with him
= 4 + 8
= 12 min

Distance that Owen would have jogged when Nick caught up with him
= 12 x 150
= 1800 m

Answer(s): (a) 4 min; (b) 1800 m
