Harry and Rael started jogging from the same point. Rael started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Harry. Harry's jogging speed was 350 m/min and Rael'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 Harry to catch up with Rael? 
2. What distance would Rael have jogged when Harry caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Harry	Rael
Speed	350 m/min	300 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2400 m

(a)
Distance that Rael covered when he jogged 8 minutes earlier
= 8 x 300
= 2400 m

Distance that Harry covered more than Rael per min
= 350 - 300
= 50 m

Time that Harry needed to take to cover the additional 2400 m
= 2400 ÷ 50
= 48 min

(b)
Time that Rael would had jogged when Harry caught up with him
= 48 + 8
= 56 min

Distance that Rael would have jogged when Harry caught up with him
= 56 x 300
= 16800 m

Answer(s): (a) 48 min; (b) 16800 m
