Nick and Pierre started jogging from the same point. Pierre started jogging 2 minutes earlier than Nick. Nick's jogging speed was 300 m/min and Pierre'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 Pierre? 
2. What distance would Pierre have jogged when Nick caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Nick	Pierre
Speed	300 m/min	150 m/min
Start time		2 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		300 m

(a)
Distance that Pierre covered when he jogged 2 minutes earlier
= 2 x 150
= 300 m

Distance that Nick covered more than Pierre per min
= 300 - 150
= 150 m

Time that Nick needed to take to cover the additional 300 m
= 300 ÷ 150
= 2 min

(b)
Time that Pierre would had jogged when Nick caught up with him
= 2 + 2
= 4 min

Distance that Pierre would have jogged when Nick caught up with him
= 4 x 150
= 600 m

Answer(s): (a) 2 min; (b) 600 m
