Ben and Zane started jogging from the same point. Zane started jogging 6 minutes earlier than Ben. Ben's jogging speed was 500 m/min and Zane'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 Ben to catch up with Zane? 
2. What distance would Zane have jogged when Ben caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Ben	Zane
Speed	500 m/min	200 m/min
Start time		6 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1200 m

(a)
Distance that Zane covered when he jogged 6 minutes earlier
= 6 x 200
= 1200 m

Distance that Ben covered more than Zane per min
= 500 - 200
= 300 m

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

(b)
Time that Zane would had jogged when Ben caught up with him
= 4 + 6
= 10 min

Distance that Zane would have jogged when Ben caught up with him
= 10 x 200
= 2000 m

Answer(s): (a) 4 min; (b) 2000 m
