Nick and Ahmad started jogging from the same point. Ahmad started jogging 3 minutes earlier than Nick. Nick's jogging speed was 450 m/min and Ahmad'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 Nick to catch up with Ahmad? 
2. What distance would Ahmad have jogged when Nick caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Nick	Ahmad
Speed	450 m/min	300 m/min
Start time		3 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		900 m

(a)
Distance that Ahmad covered when he jogged 3 minutes earlier
= 3 x 300
= 900 m

Distance that Nick covered more than Ahmad per min
= 450 - 300
= 150 m

Time that Nick needed to take to cover the additional 900 m
= 900 ÷ 150
= 6 min

(b)
Time that Ahmad would had jogged when Nick caught up with him
= 6 + 3
= 9 min

Distance that Ahmad would have jogged when Nick caught up with him
= 9 x 300
= 2700 m

Answer(s): (a) 6 min; (b) 2700 m
