Ahmad and Michael started jogging from the same point. Michael started jogging 5 minutes earlier than Ahmad. Ahmad's jogging speed was 300 m/min and Michael'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 Ahmad to catch up with Michael? 
2. What distance would Michael have jogged when Ahmad caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Ahmad	Michael
Speed	300 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		5 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1250 m

(a)
Distance that Michael covered when he jogged 5 minutes earlier
= 5 x 250
= 1250 m

Distance that Ahmad covered more than Michael per min
= 300 - 250
= 50 m

Time that Ahmad needed to take to cover the additional 1250 m
= 1250 ÷ 50
= 25 min

(b)
Time that Michael would had jogged when Ahmad caught up with him
= 25 + 5
= 30 min

Distance that Michael would have jogged when Ahmad caught up with him
= 30 x 250
= 7500 m

Answer(s): (a) 25 min; (b) 7500 m
