The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Paul completed the race in
12 of the time taken by Nick. If Zane reached the finishing line at 02 40, what time did Paul cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.
Name |
Time taken |
Zane |
234 h |
Nick |
284 min |
Paul |
? |
2 u = 284
1 u = 284 ÷ 2 = 142
Time taken by Paul
= 1 u
= 1 x 142
= 142 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Zane
= 2
34x 60
= 165 min
Difference in time
= 165 - 142
= 23 min
23 min before 02 40 = 02 17
Time that Paul crossed the finishing line = 02 17
Answer(s): 02 17
