Michael and Paul started jogging from the same point. Paul started jogging 6 minutes earlier than Michael. Michael's jogging speed was 450 m/min and Paul'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 Michael to catch up with Paul? 
2. What distance would Paul have jogged when Michael caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Michael	Paul
Speed	450 m/min	150 m/min
Start time		6 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		900 m

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

Distance that Michael covered more than Paul per min
= 450 - 150
= 300 m

Time that Michael needed to take to cover the additional 900 m
= 900 ÷ 300
= 3 min

(b)
Time that Paul would had jogged when Michael caught up with him
= 3 + 6
= 9 min

Distance that Paul would have jogged when Michael caught up with him
= 9 x 150
= 1350 m

Answer(s): (a) 3 min; (b) 1350 m
