Answer:

Gregory will catch up Efren after 26 minutes 40 seconds.

Explanation:

 Distance traveled = Speed x Time

 Speed of Efren = 4 mi/h

 Speed of Gregory = 8.5 mi/h

 Let the time of catch up be t hours.

 Time of journey of Efren before catch up = (t+0.5)hours, since he starts before half hour.

 Distance traveled by Efren = 4 x (t+0.5) miles

 Time of journey of Gregory before catch up = t hours.

 Distance traveled by Gregory = 8.5 x t miles

If they catch up the distance traveled by them is same, so equating both distances.

4 x (t+0.5) = 8.5 x t

4.5t = 2

t = 0.44 hours =26.67 minutes = 26 minutes 40 seconds.

So Gregory will catch up Efren after 26 minutes 40 seconds.
