Flynn and Elijah started jogging from the same point. Elijah started jogging 9 minutes earlier than Flynn. Flynn's jogging speed was 450 m/min and Elijah's jogging speed was 300 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Flynn	Elijah
Speed	450 m/min	300 m/min
Start time		9 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2700 m

(a)
Distance that Elijah covered when he jogged 9 minutes earlier
= 9 x 300
= 2700 m

Distance that Flynn covered more than Elijah per min
= 450 - 300
= 150 m

Time that Flynn needed to take to cover the additional 2700 m
= 2700 ÷ 150
= 18 min

(b)
Time that Elijah would had jogged when Flynn caught up with him
= 18 + 9
= 27 min

Distance that Elijah would have jogged when Flynn caught up with him
= 27 x 300
= 8100 m

Answer(s): (a) 18 min; (b) 8100 m
