Nick and Tommy started jogging from the same point. Tommy started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Nick. Nick's jogging speed was 350 m/min and Tommy'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 Nick to catch up with Tommy? 
2. What distance would Tommy have jogged when Nick caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Nick	Tommy
Speed	350 m/min	150 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1200 m

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

Distance that Nick covered more than Tommy per min
= 350 - 150
= 200 m

Time that Nick needed to take to cover the additional 1200 m
= 1200 ÷ 200
= 6 min

(b)
Time that Tommy would had jogged when Nick caught up with him
= 6 + 8
= 14 min

Distance that Tommy would have jogged when Nick caught up with him
= 14 x 150
= 2100 m

Answer(s): (a) 6 min; (b) 2100 m
