Rael and Peter started jogging from the same point. Peter started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Rael. Rael's jogging speed was 450 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 Rael to catch up with Peter? 
2. What distance would Peter have jogged when Rael caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Rael	Peter
Speed	450 m/min	150 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1200 m

(a)
Distance that Peter covered when he jogged 8 minutes earlier
= 8 x 150
= 1200 m

Distance that Rael covered more than Peter per min
= 450 - 150
= 300 m

Time that Rael needed to take to cover the additional 1200 m
= 1200 ÷ 300
= 4 min

(b)
Time that Peter would had jogged when Rael caught up with him
= 4 + 8
= 12 min

Distance that Peter would have jogged when Rael caught up with him
= 12 x 150
= 1800 m

Answer(s): (a) 4 min; (b) 1800 m
