The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Zeph completed the race in

Time taken |
Gabriel |
212 h |
Bobby |
294 min |
Zeph |
? |
2 u = 294
1 u = 294 ÷ 2 = 147
Time taken by Zeph
= 1 u
= 1 x 147
= 147 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Gabriel
= 2
12x 60
= 150 min
Difference in time
= 150 - 147
= 3 min
3 min before 02 45 = 02 42
Time that Zeph crossed the finishing line = 02 42
Answer(s): 02 42
