Perry and Fred started jogging from the same point. Fred started jogging 10 minutes earlier than Perry. Perry's jogging speed was 300 m/min and Fred'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 Perry to catch up with Fred? 
2. What distance would Fred have jogged when Perry caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Perry	Fred
Speed	300 m/min	100 m/min
Start time		10 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1000 m

(a)
Distance that Fred covered when he jogged 10 minutes earlier
= 10 x 100
= 1000 m

Distance that Perry covered more than Fred per min
= 300 - 100
= 200 m

Time that Perry needed to take to cover the additional 1000 m
= 1000 ÷ 200
= 5 min

(b)
Time that Fred would had jogged when Perry caught up with him
= 5 + 10
= 15 min

Distance that Fred would have jogged when Perry caught up with him
= 15 x 100
= 1500 m

Answer(s): (a) 5 min; (b) 1500 m
