Elijah and Simon started jogging from the same point. Simon started jogging 6 minutes earlier than Elijah. Elijah's jogging speed was 400 m/min and Simon'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 Elijah to catch up with Simon? 
2. What distance would Simon have jogged when Elijah caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Elijah	Simon
Speed	400 m/min	200 m/min
Start time		6 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1200 m

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

Distance that Elijah covered more than Simon per min
= 400 - 200
= 200 m

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

(b)
Time that Simon would had jogged when Elijah caught up with him
= 6 + 6
= 12 min

Distance that Simon would have jogged when Elijah caught up with him
= 12 x 200
= 2400 m

Answer(s): (a) 6 min; (b) 2400 m
