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

245 h |
Archie |
212 min |
Howard |

4 u = 212
1 u = 212 ÷ 4 = 53
Time taken by Howard
= 3 u
= 3 x 53
= 159 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Ahmad
= 2
45x 60
= 168 min
Difference in time
= 168 - 159
= 9 min
9 min before 02 35 = 02 26
Time that Howard crossed the finishing line = 02 26
Answer(s): 02 26
