Ben and Ian started jogging from the same point. Ian started jogging 9 minutes earlier than Ben. Ben's jogging speed was 300 m/min and Ian'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 Ben to catch up with Ian? 
2. What distance would Ian have jogged when Ben caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Ben	Ian
Speed	300 m/min	250 m/min
Start time		9 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		2250 m

(a)
Distance that Ian covered when he jogged 9 minutes earlier
= 9 x 250
= 2250 m

Distance that Ben covered more than Ian per min
= 300 - 250
= 50 m

Time that Ben needed to take to cover the additional 2250 m
= 2250 ÷ 50
= 45 min

(b)
Time that Ian would had jogged when Ben caught up with him
= 45 + 9
= 54 min

Distance that Ian would have jogged when Ben caught up with him
= 54 x 250
= 13500 m

Answer(s): (a) 45 min; (b) 13500 m
