Gabriel and Sam started jogging from the same point. Sam started jogging 5 minutes earlier than Gabriel. Gabriel's jogging speed was 500 m/min and Sam'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 Gabriel to catch up with Sam? 
2. What distance would Sam have jogged when Gabriel caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Gabriel	Sam
Speed	500 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		5 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1250 m

(a)
Distance that Sam covered when he jogged 5 minutes earlier
= 5 x 250
= 1250 m

Distance that Gabriel covered more than Sam per min
= 500 - 250
= 250 m

Time that Gabriel needed to take to cover the additional 1250 m
= 1250 ÷ 250
= 5 min

(b)
Time that Sam would had jogged when Gabriel caught up with him
= 5 + 5
= 10 min

Distance that Sam would have jogged when Gabriel caught up with him
= 10 x 250
= 2500 m

Answer(s): (a) 5 min; (b) 2500 m
