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

	Owen	Michael
Speed	500 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		2 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		500 m

(a)
Distance that Michael covered when he jogged 2 minutes earlier
= 2 x 250
= 500 m

Distance that Owen covered more than Michael per min
= 500 - 250
= 250 m

Time that Owen needed to take to cover the additional 500 m
= 500 ÷ 250
= 2 min

(b)
Time that Michael would had jogged when Owen caught up with him
= 2 + 2
= 4 min

Distance that Michael would have jogged when Owen caught up with him
= 4 x 250
= 1000 m

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