Asher and Tim started jogging from the same point. Tim started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Asher. Asher's jogging speed was 350 m/min and Tim's jogging speed was 150 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

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

	Asher	Tim
Speed	350 m/min	150 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1200 m

(a)
Distance that Tim covered when he jogged 8 minutes earlier
= 8 x 150
= 1200 m

Distance that Asher covered more than Tim per min
= 350 - 150
= 200 m

Time that Asher needed to take to cover the additional 1200 m
= 1200 ÷ 200
= 6 min

(b)
Time that Tim would had jogged when Asher caught up with him
= 6 + 8
= 14 min

Distance that Tim would have jogged when Asher caught up with him
= 14 x 150
= 2100 m

Answer(s): (a) 6 min; (b) 2100 m
