Seth and Ivan started jogging from the same point. Ivan started jogging 3 minutes earlier than Seth. Seth's jogging speed was 250 m/min and Ivan's jogging speed was 200 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Seth	Ivan
Speed	250 m/min	200 m/min
Start time		3 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		600 m

(a)
Distance that Ivan covered when he jogged 3 minutes earlier
= 3 x 200
= 600 m

Distance that Seth covered more than Ivan per min
= 250 - 200
= 50 m

Time that Seth needed to take to cover the additional 600 m
= 600 ÷ 50
= 12 min

(b)
Time that Ivan would had jogged when Seth caught up with him
= 12 + 3
= 15 min

Distance that Ivan would have jogged when Seth caught up with him
= 15 x 200
= 3000 m

Answer(s): (a) 12 min; (b) 3000 m
