Howard and George started jogging from the same point. George started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Howard. Howard's jogging speed was 250 m/min and George'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 Howard to catch up with George? 
2. What distance would George have jogged when Howard caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Howard	George
Speed	250 m/min	150 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1200 m

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

Distance that Howard covered more than George per min
= 250 - 150
= 100 m

Time that Howard needed to take to cover the additional 1200 m
= 1200 ÷ 100
= 12 min

(b)
Time that George would had jogged when Howard caught up with him
= 12 + 8
= 20 min

Distance that George would have jogged when Howard caught up with him
= 20 x 150
= 3000 m

Answer(s): (a) 12 min; (b) 3000 m
