Owen and Cole started jogging from the same point. Cole started jogging 10 minutes earlier than Owen. Owen's jogging speed was 450 m/min and Cole'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 Owen to catch up with Cole? 
2. What distance would Cole have jogged when Owen caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Owen	Cole
Speed	450 m/min	150 m/min
Start time		10 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1500 m

(a)
Distance that Cole covered when he jogged 10 minutes earlier
= 10 x 150
= 1500 m

Distance that Owen covered more than Cole per min
= 450 - 150
= 300 m

Time that Owen needed to take to cover the additional 1500 m
= 1500 ÷ 300
= 5 min

(b)
Time that Cole would had jogged when Owen caught up with him
= 5 + 10
= 15 min

Distance that Cole would have jogged when Owen caught up with him
= 15 x 150
= 2250 m

Answer(s): (a) 5 min; (b) 2250 m
