Charlie and Asher started jogging from the same point. Asher started jogging 5 minutes earlier than Charlie. Charlie's jogging speed was 400 m/min and Asher'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 Charlie to catch up with Asher? 
2. What distance would Asher have jogged when Charlie caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Charlie	Asher
Speed	400 m/min	350 m/min
Start time		5 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1750 m

(a)
Distance that Asher covered when he jogged 5 minutes earlier
= 5 x 350
= 1750 m

Distance that Charlie covered more than Asher per min
= 400 - 350
= 50 m

Time that Charlie needed to take to cover the additional 1750 m
= 1750 ÷ 50
= 35 min

(b)
Time that Asher would had jogged when Charlie caught up with him
= 35 + 5
= 40 min

Distance that Asher would have jogged when Charlie caught up with him
= 40 x 350
= 14000 m

Answer(s): (a) 35 min; (b) 14000 m
