Liam and Lee started jogging from the same point. Lee started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Liam. Liam's jogging speed was 500 m/min and Lee's jogging speed was 100 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Liam	Lee
Speed	500 m/min	100 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		800 m

(a)
Distance that Lee covered when he jogged 8 minutes earlier
= 8 x 100
= 800 m

Distance that Liam covered more than Lee per min
= 500 - 100
= 400 m

Time that Liam needed to take to cover the additional 800 m
= 800 ÷ 400
= 2 min

(b)
Time that Lee would had jogged when Liam caught up with him
= 2 + 8
= 10 min

Distance that Lee would have jogged when Liam caught up with him
= 10 x 100
= 1000 m

Answer(s): (a) 2 min; (b) 1000 m
