Brandon and Tom started jogging from the same point. Tom started jogging 4 minutes earlier than Brandon. Brandon's jogging speed was 400 m/min and Tom'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 Brandon to catch up with Tom? 
2. What distance would Tom have jogged when Brandon caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Brandon	Tom
Speed	400 m/min	300 m/min
Start time		4 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1200 m

(a)
Distance that Tom covered when he jogged 4 minutes earlier
= 4 x 300
= 1200 m

Distance that Brandon covered more than Tom per min
= 400 - 300
= 100 m

Time that Brandon needed to take to cover the additional 1200 m
= 1200 ÷ 100
= 12 min

(b)
Time that Tom would had jogged when Brandon caught up with him
= 12 + 4
= 16 min

Distance that Tom would have jogged when Brandon caught up with him
= 16 x 300
= 4800 m

Answer(s): (a) 12 min; (b) 4800 m
