Vincent and Owen started jogging from the same point. Owen started jogging 3 minutes earlier than Vincent. Vincent's jogging speed was 300 m/min and Owen'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 Vincent to catch up with Owen? 
2. What distance would Owen have jogged when Vincent caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Vincent	Owen
Speed	300 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		3 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		750 m

(a)
Distance that Owen covered when he jogged 3 minutes earlier
= 3 x 250
= 750 m

Distance that Vincent covered more than Owen per min
= 300 - 250
= 50 m

Time that Vincent needed to take to cover the additional 750 m
= 750 ÷ 50
= 15 min

(b)
Time that Owen would had jogged when Vincent caught up with him
= 15 + 3
= 18 min

Distance that Owen would have jogged when Vincent caught up with him
= 18 x 250
= 4500 m

Answer(s): (a) 15 min; (b) 4500 m
