Vaidev and Will started jogging from the same point. Will started jogging 2 minutes earlier than Vaidev. Vaidev's jogging speed was 450 m/min and Will's jogging speed was 300 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Vaidev	Will
Speed	450 m/min	300 m/min
Start time		2 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		600 m

(a)
Distance that Will covered when he jogged 2 minutes earlier
= 2 x 300
= 600 m

Distance that Vaidev covered more than Will per min
= 450 - 300
= 150 m

Time that Vaidev needed to take to cover the additional 600 m
= 600 ÷ 150
= 4 min

(b)
Time that Will would had jogged when Vaidev caught up with him
= 4 + 2
= 6 min

Distance that Will would have jogged when Vaidev caught up with him
= 6 x 300
= 1800 m

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