Fabian and Ian started jogging from the same point. Ian started jogging 3 minutes earlier than Fabian. Fabian's jogging speed was 300 m/min and Ian'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 Fabian to catch up with Ian? 
2. What distance would Ian have jogged when Fabian caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Fabian	Ian
Speed	300 m/min	150 m/min
Start time		3 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		450 m

(a)
Distance that Ian covered when he jogged 3 minutes earlier
= 3 x 150
= 450 m

Distance that Fabian covered more than Ian per min
= 300 - 150
= 150 m

Time that Fabian needed to take to cover the additional 450 m
= 450 ÷ 150
= 3 min

(b)
Time that Ian would had jogged when Fabian caught up with him
= 3 + 3
= 6 min

Distance that Ian would have jogged when Fabian caught up with him
= 6 x 150
= 900 m

Answer(s): (a) 3 min; (b) 900 m
