Paul and Ryan started jogging from the same point. Ryan started jogging 10 minutes earlier than Paul. Paul's jogging speed was 450 m/min and Ryan's jogging speed was 200 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Paul	Ryan
Speed	450 m/min	200 m/min
Start time		10 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2000 m

(a)
Distance that Ryan covered when he jogged 10 minutes earlier
= 10 x 200
= 2000 m

Distance that Paul covered more than Ryan per min
= 450 - 200
= 250 m

Time that Paul needed to take to cover the additional 2000 m
= 2000 ÷ 250
= 8 min

(b)
Time that Ryan would had jogged when Paul caught up with him
= 8 + 10
= 18 min

Distance that Ryan would have jogged when Paul caught up with him
= 18 x 200
= 3600 m

Answer(s): (a) 8 min; (b) 3600 m
