Archie and Jeremy started jogging from the same point. Jeremy started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Archie. Archie's jogging speed was 450 m/min and Jeremy'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 Archie to catch up with Jeremy? 
2. What distance would Jeremy have jogged when Archie caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Archie	Jeremy
Speed	450 m/min	150 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1200 m

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

Distance that Archie covered more than Jeremy per min
= 450 - 150
= 300 m

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

(b)
Time that Jeremy would had jogged when Archie caught up with him
= 4 + 8
= 12 min

Distance that Jeremy would have jogged when Archie caught up with him
= 12 x 150
= 1800 m

Answer(s): (a) 4 min; (b) 1800 m
