The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Ryan completed the race in
35 of the time taken by Peter. If Flynn reached the finishing line at 02 35, what time did Ryan cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.

Time taken |
Flynn |
225 h |
Peter |
220 min |
Ryan |

5 u = 220
1 u = 220 ÷ 5 = 44
Time taken by Ryan
= 3 u
= 3 x 44
= 132 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Flynn
= 2
25x 60
= 144 min
Difference in time
= 144 - 132
= 12 min
12 min before 02 35 = 02 23
Time that Ryan crossed the finishing line = 02 23
Answer(s): 02 23
