Elijah and Ryan started jogging from the same point. Ryan started jogging 7 minutes earlier than Elijah. Elijah's jogging speed was 400 m/min and Ryan's jogging speed was 350 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Elijah	Ryan
Speed	400 m/min	350 m/min
Start time		7 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2450 m

(a)
Distance that Ryan covered when he jogged 7 minutes earlier
= 7 x 350
= 2450 m

Distance that Elijah covered more than Ryan per min
= 400 - 350
= 50 m

Time that Elijah needed to take to cover the additional 2450 m
= 2450 ÷ 50
= 49 min

(b)
Time that Ryan would had jogged when Elijah caught up with him
= 49 + 7
= 56 min

Distance that Ryan would have jogged when Elijah caught up with him
= 56 x 350
= 19600 m

Answer(s): (a) 49 min; (b) 19600 m
