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

	Tom	Julian
Speed	500 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		2 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		500 m

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

Distance that Tom covered more than Julian per min
= 500 - 250
= 250 m

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

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

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

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