Michael and Sean started jogging from the same point. Sean started jogging 5 minutes earlier than Michael. Michael's jogging speed was 350 m/min and Sean'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 Michael to catch up with Sean? 
2. What distance would Sean have jogged when Michael caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Michael	Sean
Speed	350 m/min	300 m/min
Start time		5 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1500 m

(a)
Distance that Sean covered when he jogged 5 minutes earlier
= 5 x 300
= 1500 m

Distance that Michael covered more than Sean per min
= 350 - 300
= 50 m

Time that Michael needed to take to cover the additional 1500 m
= 1500 ÷ 50
= 30 min

(b)
Time that Sean would had jogged when Michael caught up with him
= 30 + 5
= 35 min

Distance that Sean would have jogged when Michael caught up with him
= 35 x 300
= 10500 m

Answer(s): (a) 30 min; (b) 10500 m
