Gabriel and Neave started jogging from the same point. Neave started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Gabriel. Gabriel's jogging speed was 500 m/min and Neave'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 Gabriel to catch up with Neave? 
2. What distance would Neave have jogged when Gabriel caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Gabriel	Neave
Speed	500 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2000 m

(a)
Distance that Neave covered when he jogged 8 minutes earlier
= 8 x 250
= 2000 m

Distance that Gabriel covered more than Neave per min
= 500 - 250
= 250 m

Time that Gabriel needed to take to cover the additional 2000 m
= 2000 ÷ 250
= 8 min

(b)
Time that Neave would had jogged when Gabriel caught up with him
= 8 + 8
= 16 min

Distance that Neave would have jogged when Gabriel caught up with him
= 16 x 250
= 4000 m

Answer(s): (a) 8 min; (b) 4000 m
