Tom and Wesley started jogging from the same point. Wesley started jogging 6 minutes earlier than Tom. Tom's jogging speed was 350 m/min and Wesley'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 Tom to catch up with Wesley? 
2. What distance would Wesley have jogged when Tom caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Tom	Wesley
Speed	350 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		6 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1500 m

(a)
Distance that Wesley covered when he jogged 6 minutes earlier
= 6 x 250
= 1500 m

Distance that Tom covered more than Wesley per min
= 350 - 250
= 100 m

Time that Tom needed to take to cover the additional 1500 m
= 1500 ÷ 100
= 15 min

(b)
Time that Wesley would had jogged when Tom caught up with him
= 15 + 6
= 21 min

Distance that Wesley would have jogged when Tom caught up with him
= 21 x 250
= 5250 m

Answer(s): (a) 15 min; (b) 5250 m
