Ryan and Xavier started jogging from the same point. Xavier started jogging 2 minutes earlier than Ryan. Ryan's jogging speed was 250 m/min and Xavier'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 Ryan to catch up with Xavier? 
2. What distance would Xavier have jogged when Ryan caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Ryan	Xavier
Speed	250 m/min	200 m/min
Start time		2 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		400 m

(a)
Distance that Xavier covered when he jogged 2 minutes earlier
= 2 x 200
= 400 m

Distance that Ryan covered more than Xavier per min
= 250 - 200
= 50 m

Time that Ryan needed to take to cover the additional 400 m
= 400 ÷ 50
= 8 min

(b)
Time that Xavier would had jogged when Ryan caught up with him
= 8 + 2
= 10 min

Distance that Xavier would have jogged when Ryan caught up with him
= 10 x 200
= 2000 m

Answer(s): (a) 8 min; (b) 2000 m
