The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Oliver completed the race in
12 of the time taken by Albert. If Seth reached the finishing line at 03 35, what time did Oliver cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.
| Name |
Time taken |
| Seth |
235 h |
| Albert |
282 min |
| Oliver |
? |
2 u = 282
1 u = 282 ÷ 2 = 141
Time taken by Oliver
= 1 u
= 1 x 141
= 141 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Seth
= 2
35x 60
= 156 min
Difference in time
= 156 - 141
= 15 min
15 min before 03 35 = 03 20
Time that Oliver crossed the finishing line = 03 20
Answer(s): 03 20
