Ian and Asher started jogging from the same point. Asher started jogging 9 minutes earlier than Ian. Ian's jogging speed was 300 m/min and Asher'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 Ian to catch up with Asher? 
2. What distance would Asher have jogged when Ian caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Ian	Asher
Speed	300 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		9 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2250 m

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

Distance that Ian covered more than Asher per min
= 300 - 250
= 50 m

Time that Ian needed to take to cover the additional 2250 m
= 2250 ÷ 50
= 45 min

(b)
Time that Asher would had jogged when Ian caught up with him
= 45 + 9
= 54 min

Distance that Asher would have jogged when Ian caught up with him
= 54 x 250
= 13500 m

Answer(s): (a) 45 min; (b) 13500 m
