Eric and Flynn started jogging from the same point. Flynn started jogging 6 minutes earlier than Eric. Eric's jogging speed was 500 m/min and Flynn'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 Eric to catch up with Flynn? 
2. What distance would Flynn have jogged when Eric caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Eric	Flynn
Speed	500 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		6 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1500 m

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

Distance that Eric covered more than Flynn per min
= 500 - 250
= 250 m

Time that Eric needed to take to cover the additional 1500 m
= 1500 ÷ 250
= 6 min

(b)
Time that Flynn would had jogged when Eric caught up with him
= 6 + 6
= 12 min

Distance that Flynn would have jogged when Eric caught up with him
= 12 x 250
= 3000 m

Answer(s): (a) 6 min; (b) 3000 m
