Bobby and Howard started jogging from the same point. Howard started jogging 6 minutes earlier than Bobby. Bobby's jogging speed was 300 m/min and Howard'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 Bobby to catch up with Howard? 
2. What distance would Howard have jogged when Bobby caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Bobby	Howard
Speed	300 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		6 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1500 m

(a)
Distance that Howard covered when he jogged 6 minutes earlier
= 6 x 250
= 1500 m

Distance that Bobby covered more than Howard per min
= 300 - 250
= 50 m

Time that Bobby needed to take to cover the additional 1500 m
= 1500 ÷ 50
= 30 min

(b)
Time that Howard would had jogged when Bobby caught up with him
= 30 + 6
= 36 min

Distance that Howard would have jogged when Bobby caught up with him
= 36 x 250
= 9000 m

Answer(s): (a) 30 min; (b) 9000 m
