Ben and Bryan started jogging from the same point. Bryan started jogging 4 minutes earlier than Ben. Ben's jogging speed was 450 m/min and Bryan'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 Ben to catch up with Bryan? 
2. What distance would Bryan have jogged when Ben caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Ben	Bryan
Speed	450 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		4 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1000 m

(a)
Distance that Bryan covered when he jogged 4 minutes earlier
= 4 x 250
= 1000 m

Distance that Ben covered more than Bryan per min
= 450 - 250
= 200 m

Time that Ben needed to take to cover the additional 1000 m
= 1000 ÷ 200
= 5 min

(b)
Time that Bryan would had jogged when Ben caught up with him
= 5 + 4
= 9 min

Distance that Bryan would have jogged when Ben caught up with him
= 9 x 250
= 2250 m

Answer(s): (a) 5 min; (b) 2250 m
