Eric and Zane started jogging from the same point. Zane started jogging 10 minutes earlier than Eric. Eric's jogging speed was 300 m/min and Zane's jogging speed was 250 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

1. How long did it take for Eric to catch up with Zane? 
2. What distance would Zane have jogged when Eric caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Eric	Zane
Speed	300 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		10 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2500 m

(a)
Distance that Zane covered when he jogged 10 minutes earlier
= 10 x 250
= 2500 m

Distance that Eric covered more than Zane per min
= 300 - 250
= 50 m

Time that Eric needed to take to cover the additional 2500 m
= 2500 ÷ 50
= 50 min

(b)
Time that Zane would had jogged when Eric caught up with him
= 50 + 10
= 60 min

Distance that Zane would have jogged when Eric caught up with him
= 60 x 250
= 15000 m

Answer(s): (a) 50 min; (b) 15000 m
