The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Brandon completed the race in
12 of the time taken by Ken. If Vaidev reached the finishing line at 01 45, what time did Brandon cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.
| Name |
Time taken |
| Vaidev |
212 h |
| Ken |
288 min |
| Brandon |

2 u = 288
1 u = 288 ÷ 2 = 144
Time taken by Brandon
= 1 u
= 1 x 144
= 144 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Vaidev
= 2
12x 60
= 150 min
Difference in time
= 150 - 144
= 6 min
6 min before 01 45 = 01 39
Time that Brandon crossed the finishing line = 01 39
Answer(s): 01 39
