Bryan and Elijah started jogging from the same point. Elijah started jogging 2 minutes earlier than Bryan. Bryan's jogging speed was 500 m/min and Elijah'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 Bryan to catch up with Elijah? 
2. What distance would Elijah have jogged when Bryan caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Bryan	Elijah
Speed	500 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		2 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		500 m

(a)
Distance that Elijah covered when he jogged 2 minutes earlier
= 2 x 250
= 500 m

Distance that Bryan covered more than Elijah per min
= 500 - 250
= 250 m

Time that Bryan needed to take to cover the additional 500 m
= 500 ÷ 250
= 2 min

(b)
Time that Elijah would had jogged when Bryan caught up with him
= 2 + 2
= 4 min

Distance that Elijah would have jogged when Bryan caught up with him
= 4 x 250
= 1000 m

Answer(s): (a) 2 min; (b) 1000 m
