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

Bobby |

5 u = 235
1 u = 235 ÷ 5 = 47
Time taken by Bobby
= 3 u
= 3 x 47
= 141 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Japheth
= 2
35x 60
= 156 min
Difference in time
= 156 - 141
= 15 min
15 min before 03 35 = 03 20
Time that Bobby crossed the finishing line = 03 20
Answer(s): 03 20
