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

	Tim	Zeph
Speed	300 m/min	100 m/min
Start time		2 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		200 m

(a)
Distance that Zeph covered when he jogged 2 minutes earlier
= 2 x 100
= 200 m

Distance that Tim covered more than Zeph per min
= 300 - 100
= 200 m

Time that Tim needed to take to cover the additional 200 m
= 200 ÷ 200
= 1 min

(b)
Time that Zeph would had jogged when Tim caught up with him
= 1 + 2
= 3 min

Distance that Zeph would have jogged when Tim caught up with him
= 3 x 100
= 300 m

Answer(s): (a) 1 min; (b) 300 m
