The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Seth completed the race in
12 of the time taken by Simon. If Eric reached the finishing line at 02 40, what time did Seth cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.
Name |
Time taken |
Eric |
212 h |
Simon |
284 min |
Seth |

2 u = 284
1 u = 284 ÷ 2 = 142
Time taken by Seth
= 1 u
= 1 x 142
= 142 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Eric
= 2
12x 60
= 150 min
Difference in time
= 150 - 142
= 8 min
8 min before 02 40 = 02 32
Time that Seth crossed the finishing line = 02 32
Answer(s): 02 32
