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

413 h |
Flynn |
294 min |
Xavier |

6 u = 294
1 u = 294 ÷ 6 = 49
Time taken by Xavier
= 5 u
= 5 x 49
= 245 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Brandon
= 4
13x 60
= 260 min
Difference in time
= 260 - 245
= 15 min
15 min before 02 40 = 02 25
Time that Xavier crossed the finishing line = 02 25
Answer(s): 02 25
