Zane and Valen started jogging from the same point. Valen started jogging 9 minutes earlier than Zane. Zane's jogging speed was 400 m/min and Valen'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 Zane to catch up with Valen? 
2. What distance would Valen have jogged when Zane caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Zane	Valen
Speed	400 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		9 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2250 m

(a)
Distance that Valen covered when he jogged 9 minutes earlier
= 9 x 250
= 2250 m

Distance that Zane covered more than Valen per min
= 400 - 250
= 150 m

Time that Zane needed to take to cover the additional 2250 m
= 2250 ÷ 150
= 15 min

(b)
Time that Valen would had jogged when Zane caught up with him
= 15 + 9
= 24 min

Distance that Valen would have jogged when Zane caught up with him
= 24 x 250
= 6000 m

Answer(s): (a) 15 min; (b) 6000 m
