Japheth and Peter started jogging from the same point. Peter started jogging 5 minutes earlier than Japheth. Japheth's jogging speed was 200 m/min and Peter'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 Japheth to catch up with Peter? 
2. What distance would Peter have jogged when Japheth caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Japheth	Peter
Speed	200 m/min	150 m/min
Start time		5 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		750 m

(a)
Distance that Peter covered when he jogged 5 minutes earlier
= 5 x 150
= 750 m

Distance that Japheth covered more than Peter per min
= 200 - 150
= 50 m

Time that Japheth needed to take to cover the additional 750 m
= 750 ÷ 50
= 15 min

(b)
Time that Peter would had jogged when Japheth caught up with him
= 15 + 5
= 20 min

Distance that Peter would have jogged when Japheth caught up with him
= 20 x 150
= 3000 m

Answer(s): (a) 15 min; (b) 3000 m
