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

5 u = 245
1 u = 245 ÷ 5 = 49
Time taken by Riordan
= 3 u
= 3 x 49
= 147 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Billy
= 2
35x 60
= 156 min
Difference in time
= 156 - 147
= 9 min
9 min before 03 45 = 03 36
Time that Riordan crossed the finishing line = 03 36
Answer(s): 03 36
