Flynn and Valen started jogging from the same point. Valen started jogging 9 minutes earlier than Flynn. Flynn's jogging speed was 350 m/min and Valen'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 Flynn to catch up with Valen? 
2. What distance would Valen have jogged when Flynn caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Flynn	Valen
Speed	350 m/min	300 m/min
Start time		9 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2700 m

(a)
Distance that Valen covered when he jogged 9 minutes earlier
= 9 x 300
= 2700 m

Distance that Flynn covered more than Valen per min
= 350 - 300
= 50 m

Time that Flynn needed to take to cover the additional 2700 m
= 2700 ÷ 50
= 54 min

(b)
Time that Valen would had jogged when Flynn caught up with him
= 54 + 9
= 63 min

Distance that Valen would have jogged when Flynn caught up with him
= 63 x 300
= 18900 m

Answer(s): (a) 54 min; (b) 18900 m
