Valen and Howard started jogging from the same point. Howard started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Valen. Valen's jogging speed was 450 m/min and Howard'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 Valen to catch up with Howard? 
2. What distance would Howard have jogged when Valen caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Valen	Howard
Speed	450 m/min	350 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2800 m

(a)
Distance that Howard covered when he jogged 8 minutes earlier
= 8 x 350
= 2800 m

Distance that Valen covered more than Howard per min
= 450 - 350
= 100 m

Time that Valen needed to take to cover the additional 2800 m
= 2800 ÷ 100
= 28 min

(b)
Time that Howard would had jogged when Valen caught up with him
= 28 + 8
= 36 min

Distance that Howard would have jogged when Valen caught up with him
= 36 x 350
= 12600 m

Answer(s): (a) 28 min; (b) 12600 m
