The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Tim completed the race in
12 of the time taken by Ben. If Reggie reached the finishing line at 03 45, what time did Tim cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.
| Name |
Time taken |
| Reggie |
212 h |
| Ben |
294 min |
| Tim |
? |
2 u = 294
1 u = 294 ÷ 2 = 147
Time taken by Tim
= 1 u
= 1 x 147
= 147 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Reggie
= 2
12x 60
= 150 min
Difference in time
= 150 - 147
= 3 min
3 min before 03 45 = 03 42
Time that Tim crossed the finishing line = 03 42
Answer(s): 03 42
