Sean and George started jogging from the same point. George started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Sean. Sean's jogging speed was 300 m/min and George'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 Sean to catch up with George? 
2. What distance would George have jogged when Sean caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Sean	George
Speed	300 m/min	200 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		1600 m

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

Distance that Sean covered more than George per min
= 300 - 200
= 100 m

Time that Sean needed to take to cover the additional 1600 m
= 1600 ÷ 100
= 16 min

(b)
Time that George would had jogged when Sean caught up with him
= 16 + 8
= 24 min

Distance that George would have jogged when Sean caught up with him
= 24 x 200
= 4800 m

Answer(s): (a) 16 min; (b) 4800 m
