Justin and Nick started jogging from the same point. Nick started jogging 9 minutes earlier than Justin. Justin's jogging speed was 400 m/min and Nick'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 Justin to catch up with Nick? 
2. What distance would Nick have jogged when Justin caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Justin	Nick
Speed	400 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		9 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2250 m

(a)
Distance that Nick covered when he jogged 9 minutes earlier
= 9 x 250
= 2250 m

Distance that Justin covered more than Nick per min
= 400 - 250
= 150 m

Time that Justin needed to take to cover the additional 2250 m
= 2250 ÷ 150
= 15 min

(b)
Time that Nick would had jogged when Justin caught up with him
= 15 + 9
= 24 min

Distance that Nick would have jogged when Justin caught up with him
= 24 x 250
= 6000 m

Answer(s): (a) 15 min; (b) 6000 m
