Sean and Japheth started jogging from the same point. Japheth started jogging 2 minutes earlier than Sean. Sean's jogging speed was 250 m/min and Japheth'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 Sean to catch up with Japheth? 
2. What distance would Japheth have jogged when Sean caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Sean	Japheth
Speed	250 m/min	150 m/min
Start time		2 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		300 m

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

Distance that Sean covered more than Japheth per min
= 250 - 150
= 100 m

Time that Sean needed to take to cover the additional 300 m
= 300 ÷ 100
= 3 min

(b)
Time that Japheth would had jogged when Sean caught up with him
= 3 + 2
= 5 min

Distance that Japheth would have jogged when Sean caught up with him
= 5 x 150
= 750 m

Answer(s): (a) 3 min; (b) 750 m
