Liam and Sean started jogging from the same point. Sean started jogging 2 minutes earlier than Liam. Liam's jogging speed was 200 m/min and Sean's jogging speed was 150 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Liam	Sean
Speed	200 m/min	150 m/min
Start time		2 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		300 m

(a)
Distance that Sean covered when he jogged 2 minutes earlier
= 2 x 150
= 300 m

Distance that Liam covered more than Sean per min
= 200 - 150
= 50 m

Time that Liam needed to take to cover the additional 300 m
= 300 ÷ 50
= 6 min

(b)
Time that Sean would had jogged when Liam caught up with him
= 6 + 2
= 8 min

Distance that Sean would have jogged when Liam caught up with him
= 8 x 150
= 1200 m

Answer(s): (a) 6 min; (b) 1200 m
