Paul and Ken started jogging from the same point. Ken started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Paul. Paul's jogging speed was 500 m/min and Ken's jogging speed was 300 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Paul	Ken
Speed	500 m/min	300 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2400 m

(a)
Distance that Ken covered when he jogged 8 minutes earlier
= 8 x 300
= 2400 m

Distance that Paul covered more than Ken per min
= 500 - 300
= 200 m

Time that Paul needed to take to cover the additional 2400 m
= 2400 ÷ 200
= 12 min

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

Distance that Ken would have jogged when Paul caught up with him
= 20 x 300
= 6000 m

Answer(s): (a) 12 min; (b) 6000 m
