The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Jack completed the race in
34 of the time taken by Oscar. If Simon reached the finishing line at 02 35, what time did Jack cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.

323 h |
Oscar |
276 min |
Jack |

4 u = 276
1 u = 276 ÷ 4 = 69
Time taken by Jack
= 3 u
= 3 x 69
= 207 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Simon
= 3
23x 60
= 220 min
Difference in time
= 220 - 207
= 13 min
13 min before 02 35 = 02 22
Time that Jack crossed the finishing line = 02 22
Answer(s): 02 22
