Seth and Cole started jogging from the same point. Cole started jogging 5 minutes earlier than Seth. Seth's jogging speed was 300 m/min and Cole'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 Seth to catch up with Cole? 
2. What distance would Cole have jogged when Seth caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Seth	Cole
Speed	300 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		5 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1250 m

(a)
Distance that Cole covered when he jogged 5 minutes earlier
= 5 x 250
= 1250 m

Distance that Seth covered more than Cole per min
= 300 - 250
= 50 m

Time that Seth needed to take to cover the additional 1250 m
= 1250 ÷ 50
= 25 min

(b)
Time that Cole would had jogged when Seth caught up with him
= 25 + 5
= 30 min

Distance that Cole would have jogged when Seth caught up with him
= 30 x 250
= 7500 m

Answer(s): (a) 25 min; (b) 7500 m
