Ivan and Eric started jogging from the same point. Eric started jogging 7 minutes earlier than Ivan. Ivan's jogging speed was 250 m/min and Eric's jogging speed was 200 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Ivan	Eric
Speed	250 m/min	200 m/min
Start time		7 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1400 m

(a)
Distance that Eric covered when he jogged 7 minutes earlier
= 7 x 200
= 1400 m

Distance that Ivan covered more than Eric per min
= 250 - 200
= 50 m

Time that Ivan needed to take to cover the additional 1400 m
= 1400 ÷ 50
= 28 min

(b)
Time that Eric would had jogged when Ivan caught up with him
= 28 + 7
= 35 min

Distance that Eric would have jogged when Ivan caught up with him
= 35 x 200
= 7000 m

Answer(s): (a) 28 min; (b) 7000 m
