Wesley and Sam started jogging from the same point. Sam started jogging 5 minutes earlier than Wesley. Wesley's jogging speed was 450 m/min and Sam's jogging speed was 200 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Wesley	Sam
Speed	450 m/min	200 m/min
Start time		5 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1000 m

(a)
Distance that Sam covered when he jogged 5 minutes earlier
= 5 x 200
= 1000 m

Distance that Wesley covered more than Sam per min
= 450 - 200
= 250 m

Time that Wesley needed to take to cover the additional 1000 m
= 1000 ÷ 250
= 4 min

(b)
Time that Sam would had jogged when Wesley caught up with him
= 4 + 5
= 9 min

Distance that Sam would have jogged when Wesley caught up with him
= 9 x 200
= 1800 m

Answer(s): (a) 4 min; (b) 1800 m
