Will and Howard started jogging from the same point. Howard started jogging 4 minutes earlier than Will. Will's jogging speed was 300 m/min and Howard'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 Will to catch up with Howard? 
2. What distance would Howard have jogged when Will caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Will	Howard
Speed	300 m/min	100 m/min
Start time		4 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		400 m

(a)
Distance that Howard covered when he jogged 4 minutes earlier
= 4 x 100
= 400 m

Distance that Will covered more than Howard per min
= 300 - 100
= 200 m

Time that Will needed to take to cover the additional 400 m
= 400 ÷ 200
= 2 min

(b)
Time that Howard would had jogged when Will caught up with him
= 2 + 4
= 6 min

Distance that Howard would have jogged when Will caught up with him
= 6 x 100
= 600 m

Answer(s): (a) 2 min; (b) 600 m
