Peter and Valen started jogging from the same point. Valen started jogging 5 minutes earlier than Peter. Peter's jogging speed was 450 m/min and Valen's jogging speed was 200 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Peter	Valen
Speed	450 m/min	200 m/min
Start time		5 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1000 m

(a)
Distance that Valen covered when he jogged 5 minutes earlier
= 5 x 200
= 1000 m

Distance that Peter covered more than Valen per min
= 450 - 200
= 250 m

Time that Peter needed to take to cover the additional 1000 m
= 1000 ÷ 250
= 4 min

(b)
Time that Valen would had jogged when Peter caught up with him
= 4 + 5
= 9 min

Distance that Valen would have jogged when Peter caught up with him
= 9 x 200
= 1800 m

Answer(s): (a) 4 min; (b) 1800 m
