Rael and Eric started jogging from the same point. Eric started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Rael. Rael's jogging speed was 350 m/min and Eric's jogging speed was 150 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Rael	Eric
Speed	350 m/min	150 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1200 m

(a)
Distance that Eric covered when he jogged 8 minutes earlier
= 8 x 150
= 1200 m

Distance that Rael covered more than Eric per min
= 350 - 150
= 200 m

Time that Rael needed to take to cover the additional 1200 m
= 1200 ÷ 200
= 6 min

(b)
Time that Eric would had jogged when Rael caught up with him
= 6 + 8
= 14 min

Distance that Eric would have jogged when Rael caught up with him
= 14 x 150
= 2100 m

Answer(s): (a) 6 min; (b) 2100 m
