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

	Andy	Elijah
Speed	500 m/min	300 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2400 m

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

Distance that Andy covered more than Elijah per min
= 500 - 300
= 200 m

Time that Andy needed to take to cover the additional 2400 m
= 2400 ÷ 200
= 12 min

(b)
Time that Elijah would had jogged when Andy caught up with him
= 12 + 8
= 20 min

Distance that Elijah would have jogged when Andy caught up with him
= 20 x 300
= 6000 m

Answer(s): (a) 12 min; (b) 6000 m
