Caden and Elijah started jogging from the same point. Elijah started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Caden. Caden's jogging speed was 250 m/min and Elijah'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 Caden to catch up with Elijah? 
2. What distance would Elijah have jogged when Caden caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Caden	Elijah
Speed	250 m/min	200 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1600 m

(a)
Distance that Elijah covered when he jogged 8 minutes earlier
= 8 x 200
= 1600 m

Distance that Caden covered more than Elijah per min
= 250 - 200
= 50 m

Time that Caden needed to take to cover the additional 1600 m
= 1600 ÷ 50
= 32 min

(b)
Time that Elijah would had jogged when Caden caught up with him
= 32 + 8
= 40 min

Distance that Elijah would have jogged when Caden caught up with him
= 40 x 200
= 8000 m

Answer(s): (a) 32 min; (b) 8000 m
