George and Peter started jogging from the same point. Peter started jogging 10 minutes earlier than George. George's jogging speed was 300 m/min and Peter'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 George to catch up with Peter? 
2. What distance would Peter have jogged when George caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	George	Peter
Speed	300 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		10 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2500 m

(a)
Distance that Peter covered when he jogged 10 minutes earlier
= 10 x 250
= 2500 m

Distance that George covered more than Peter per min
= 300 - 250
= 50 m

Time that George needed to take to cover the additional 2500 m
= 2500 ÷ 50
= 50 min

(b)
Time that Peter would had jogged when George caught up with him
= 50 + 10
= 60 min

Distance that Peter would have jogged when George caught up with him
= 60 x 250
= 15000 m

Answer(s): (a) 50 min; (b) 15000 m
