Bobby and Caden started jogging from the same point. Caden started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Bobby. Bobby's jogging speed was 450 m/min and Caden's jogging speed was 250 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Bobby	Caden
Speed	450 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2000 m

(a)
Distance that Caden covered when he jogged 8 minutes earlier
= 8 x 250
= 2000 m

Distance that Bobby covered more than Caden per min
= 450 - 250
= 200 m

Time that Bobby needed to take to cover the additional 2000 m
= 2000 ÷ 200
= 10 min

(b)
Time that Caden would had jogged when Bobby caught up with him
= 10 + 8
= 18 min

Distance that Caden would have jogged when Bobby caught up with him
= 18 x 250
= 4500 m

Answer(s): (a) 10 min; (b) 4500 m
