The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Vaidev completed the race in

Vaidev |

5 u = 265
1 u = 265 ÷ 5 = 53
Time taken by Vaidev
= 4 u
= 4 x 53
= 212 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Gabriel
= 3
23x 60
= 220 min
Difference in time
= 220 - 212
= 8 min
8 min before 03 25 = 03 17
Time that Vaidev crossed the finishing line = 03 17
Answer(s): 03 17
