Jenson and Perry started jogging from the same point. Perry started jogging 3 minutes earlier than Jenson. Jenson's jogging speed was 450 m/min and Perry's jogging speed was 300 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Jenson	Perry
Speed	450 m/min	300 m/min
Start time		3 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		900 m

(a)
Distance that Perry covered when he jogged 3 minutes earlier
= 3 x 300
= 900 m

Distance that Jenson covered more than Perry per min
= 450 - 300
= 150 m

Time that Jenson needed to take to cover the additional 900 m
= 900 ÷ 150
= 6 min

(b)
Time that Perry would had jogged when Jenson caught up with him
= 6 + 3
= 9 min

Distance that Perry would have jogged when Jenson caught up with him
= 9 x 300
= 2700 m

Answer(s): (a) 6 min; (b) 2700 m
