The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Peter completed the race in
35 of the time taken by Fred. If Sam reached the finishing line at 01 45, what time did Peter cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.
Name |
Time taken |
Sam |
225 h |
Fred |
205 min |
Peter |

5 u = 205
1 u = 205 ÷ 5 = 41
Time taken by Peter
= 3 u
= 3 x 41
= 123 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Sam
= 2
25x 60
= 144 min
Difference in time
= 144 - 123
= 21 min
21 min before 01 45 = 01 24
Time that Peter crossed the finishing line = 01 24
Answer(s): 01 24
