Bobby and Carl started jogging from the same point. Carl started jogging 3 minutes earlier than Bobby. Bobby's jogging speed was 500 m/min and Carl'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 Bobby to catch up with Carl? 
2. What distance would Carl have jogged when Bobby caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Bobby	Carl
Speed	500 m/min	200 m/min
Start time		3 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		600 m

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

Distance that Bobby covered more than Carl per min
= 500 - 200
= 300 m

Time that Bobby needed to take to cover the additional 600 m
= 600 ÷ 300
= 2 min

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

Distance that Carl would have jogged when Bobby caught up with him
= 5 x 200
= 1000 m

Answer(s): (a) 2 min; (b) 1000 m
