The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Oscar completed the race in
12 of the time taken by Pierre. If Oliver reached the finishing line at 01 40, what time did Oscar cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.
| Name |
Time taken |
| Oliver |
212 h |
| Pierre |
284 min |
| Oscar |
? |
2 u = 284
1 u = 284 ÷ 2 = 142
Time taken by Oscar
= 1 u
= 1 x 142
= 142 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Oliver
= 2
12x 60
= 150 min
Difference in time
= 150 - 142
= 8 min
8 min before 01 40 = 01 32
Time that Oscar crossed the finishing line = 01 32
Answer(s): 01 32
