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

325 h |
Tommy |
270 min |
Jack |

3 u = 270
1 u = 270 ÷ 3 = 90
Time taken by Jack
= 2 u
= 2 x 90
= 180 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Jeremy
= 3
25x 60
= 204 min
Difference in time
= 204 - 180
= 24 min
24 min before 03 35 = 03 11
Time that Jack crossed the finishing line = 03 11
Answer(s): 03 11
