Peter and Brandon started jogging from the same point. Brandon started jogging 2 minutes earlier than Peter. Peter's jogging speed was 450 m/min and Brandon'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 Peter to catch up with Brandon? 
2. What distance would Brandon have jogged when Peter caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Peter	Brandon
Speed	450 m/min	300 m/min
Start time		2 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		600 m

(a)
Distance that Brandon covered when he jogged 2 minutes earlier
= 2 x 300
= 600 m

Distance that Peter covered more than Brandon per min
= 450 - 300
= 150 m

Time that Peter needed to take to cover the additional 600 m
= 600 ÷ 150
= 4 min

(b)
Time that Brandon would had jogged when Peter caught up with him
= 4 + 2
= 6 min

Distance that Brandon would have jogged when Peter caught up with him
= 6 x 300
= 1800 m

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