Oliver and Eric started jogging from the same point. Eric started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Oliver. Oliver's jogging speed was 200 m/min and Eric's jogging speed was 100 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

1. How long did it take for Oliver to catch up with Eric? 
2. What distance would Eric have jogged when Oliver caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Oliver	Eric
Speed	200 m/min	100 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		800 m

(a)
Distance that Eric covered when he jogged 8 minutes earlier
= 8 x 100
= 800 m

Distance that Oliver covered more than Eric per min
= 200 - 100
= 100 m

Time that Oliver needed to take to cover the additional 800 m
= 800 ÷ 100
= 8 min

(b)
Time that Eric would had jogged when Oliver caught up with him
= 8 + 8
= 16 min

Distance that Eric would have jogged when Oliver caught up with him
= 16 x 100
= 1600 m

Answer(s): (a) 8 min; (b) 1600 m
