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

	Will	Bryan
Speed	500 m/min	300 m/min
Start time		6 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1800 m

(a)
Distance that Bryan covered when he jogged 6 minutes earlier
= 6 x 300
= 1800 m

Distance that Will covered more than Bryan per min
= 500 - 300
= 200 m

Time that Will needed to take to cover the additional 1800 m
= 1800 ÷ 200
= 9 min

(b)
Time that Bryan would had jogged when Will caught up with him
= 9 + 6
= 15 min

Distance that Bryan would have jogged when Will caught up with him
= 15 x 300
= 4500 m

Answer(s): (a) 9 min; (b) 4500 m
