Dollar Academy Enterprising Mathematics - Question 1

Jack and Jill decide to have a race up and down the hill. They have to reach the top before turning round and the winner is the first person to arrive back at the bottom. Both of them always run at a constant speed (both up and down hill!) but Jill runs 50% faster than Jack.

Assuming that they both start together, where will Jill next pass Jack?
