Tom and Xavier started jogging from the same point. Xavier started jogging 6 minutes earlier than Tom. Tom's jogging speed was 400 m/min and Xavier'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 Tom to catch up with Xavier? 
2. What distance would Xavier have jogged when Tom caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Tom	Xavier
Speed	400 m/min	350 m/min
Start time		6 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2100 m

(a)
Distance that Xavier covered when he jogged 6 minutes earlier
= 6 x 350
= 2100 m

Distance that Tom covered more than Xavier per min
= 400 - 350
= 50 m

Time that Tom needed to take to cover the additional 2100 m
= 2100 ÷ 50
= 42 min

(b)
Time that Xavier would had jogged when Tom caught up with him
= 42 + 6
= 48 min

Distance that Xavier would have jogged when Tom caught up with him
= 48 x 350
= 16800 m

Answer(s): (a) 42 min; (b) 16800 m
