Billy and Jeremy started jogging from the same point. Jeremy started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Billy. Billy's jogging speed was 300 m/min and Jeremy's jogging speed was 200 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Billy	Jeremy
Speed	300 m/min	200 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1600 m

(a)
Distance that Jeremy covered when he jogged 8 minutes earlier
= 8 x 200
= 1600 m

Distance that Billy covered more than Jeremy per min
= 300 - 200
= 100 m

Time that Billy needed to take to cover the additional 1600 m
= 1600 ÷ 100
= 16 min

(b)
Time that Jeremy would had jogged when Billy caught up with him
= 16 + 8
= 24 min

Distance that Jeremy would have jogged when Billy caught up with him
= 24 x 200
= 4800 m

Answer(s): (a) 16 min; (b) 4800 m
