Peter and John started jogging from the same point. John started jogging 6 minutes earlier than Peter. Peter's jogging speed was 200 m/min and John'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 Peter to catch up with John? 
2. What distance would John have jogged when Peter caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Peter	John
Speed	200 m/min	150 m/min
Start time		6 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		900 m

(a)
Distance that John covered when he jogged 6 minutes earlier
= 6 x 150
= 900 m

Distance that Peter covered more than John per min
= 200 - 150
= 50 m

Time that Peter needed to take to cover the additional 900 m
= 900 ÷ 50
= 18 min

(b)
Time that John would had jogged when Peter caught up with him
= 18 + 6
= 24 min

Distance that John would have jogged when Peter caught up with him
= 24 x 150
= 3600 m

Answer(s): (a) 18 min; (b) 3600 m
