Oscar and Harry started jogging from the same point. Harry started jogging 6 minutes earlier than Oscar. Oscar's jogging speed was 500 m/min and Harry's jogging speed was 250 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

1. How long did it take for Oscar to catch up with Harry? 
2. What distance would Harry have jogged when Oscar caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Oscar	Harry
Speed	500 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		6 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1500 m

(a)
Distance that Harry covered when he jogged 6 minutes earlier
= 6 x 250
= 1500 m

Distance that Oscar covered more than Harry per min
= 500 - 250
= 250 m

Time that Oscar needed to take to cover the additional 1500 m
= 1500 ÷ 250
= 6 min

(b)
Time that Harry would had jogged when Oscar caught up with him
= 6 + 6
= 12 min

Distance that Harry would have jogged when Oscar caught up with him
= 12 x 250
= 3000 m

Answer(s): (a) 6 min; (b) 3000 m
