Tommy and Paul started jogging from the same point. Paul started jogging 10 minutes earlier than Tommy. Tommy's jogging speed was 400 m/min and Paul'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 Tommy to catch up with Paul? 
2. What distance would Paul have jogged when Tommy caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Tommy	Paul
Speed	400 m/min	300 m/min
Start time		10 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		3000 m

(a)
Distance that Paul covered when he jogged 10 minutes earlier
= 10 x 300
= 3000 m

Distance that Tommy covered more than Paul per min
= 400 - 300
= 100 m

Time that Tommy needed to take to cover the additional 3000 m
= 3000 ÷ 100
= 30 min

(b)
Time that Paul would had jogged when Tommy caught up with him
= 30 + 10
= 40 min

Distance that Paul would have jogged when Tommy caught up with him
= 40 x 300
= 12000 m

Answer(s): (a) 30 min; (b) 12000 m
