The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Elijah completed the race in
23 of the time taken by Owen. If Tommy reached the finishing line at 02 20, what time did Elijah cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.

Time taken |
Tommy |
325 h |
Owen |
294 min |
Elijah |

3 u = 294
1 u = 294 ÷ 3 = 98
Time taken by Elijah
= 2 u
= 2 x 98
= 196 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Tommy
= 3
25x 60
= 204 min
Difference in time
= 204 - 196
= 8 min
8 min before 02 20 = 02 12
Time that Elijah crossed the finishing line = 02 12
Answer(s): 02 12
