The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Liam completed the race in
12 of the time taken by Vincent. If Jack reached the finishing line at 01 20, what time did Liam cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.
Name |
Time taken |
Jack |
225 h |
Vincent |
284 min |
Liam |
? |
2 u = 284
1 u = 284 ÷ 2 = 142
Time taken by Liam
= 1 u
= 1 x 142
= 142 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Jack
= 2
25x 60
= 144 min
Difference in time
= 144 - 142
= 2 min
2 min before 01 20 = 01 18
Time that Liam crossed the finishing line = 01 18
Answer(s): 01 18
