A jogger runs on a path at a speed of 0.075 miles per minute. A second jogger starts 5 minutes later from the same spot, but runs at a rate of 0.1 miles per minute. Create a pair of parametric equations to represent the paths of the joggers. How far down the path from the starting point does the second runner overtake the first runner?

What is an Equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that is formed when two algebraic expressions are equated using an equal sign.

Let t represent the time taken at which both the joggers meet

Then the distance covered is given by

For jogger A = 0.075 t

For jogger B = 0.1 (t-5)

0.075 t = 0.1t - 0.5

0.025t = 0.5

t = 20 seconds

The distance at which they meet is

=0.075 * 20

= 1.5 miles
