Oliver and Tim started jogging from the same point. Tim started jogging 2 minutes earlier than Oliver. Oliver's jogging speed was 300 m/min and Tim's jogging speed was 100 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 Tim? 
2. What distance would Tim have jogged when Oliver caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Oliver	Tim
Speed	300 m/min	100 m/min
Start time		2 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		200 m

(a)
Distance that Tim covered when he jogged 2 minutes earlier
= 2 x 100
= 200 m

Distance that Oliver covered more than Tim per min
= 300 - 100
= 200 m

Time that Oliver needed to take to cover the additional 200 m
= 200 ÷ 200
= 1 min

(b)
Time that Tim would had jogged when Oliver caught up with him
= 1 + 2
= 3 min

Distance that Tim would have jogged when Oliver caught up with him
= 3 x 100
= 300 m

Answer(s): (a) 1 min; (b) 300 m
