Gabriel and Valen started jogging from the same point. Valen started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Gabriel. Gabriel's jogging speed was 400 m/min and Valen'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 Gabriel to catch up with Valen? 
2. What distance would Valen have jogged when Gabriel caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Gabriel	Valen
Speed	400 m/min	350 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2800 m

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

Distance that Gabriel covered more than Valen per min
= 400 - 350
= 50 m

Time that Gabriel needed to take to cover the additional 2800 m
= 2800 ÷ 50
= 56 min

(b)
Time that Valen would had jogged when Gabriel caught up with him
= 56 + 8
= 64 min

Distance that Valen would have jogged when Gabriel caught up with him
= 64 x 350
= 22400 m

Answer(s): (a) 56 min; (b) 22400 m
