The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Ben completed the race in
35 of the time taken by Oscar. If Zeph reached the finishing line at 03 45, what time did Ben cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.

Time taken |
| Zeph |
212 h |
| Oscar |
230 min |
| Ben |

5 u = 230
1 u = 230 ÷ 5 = 46
Time taken by Ben
= 3 u
= 3 x 46
= 138 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Zeph
= 2
12x 60
= 150 min
Difference in time
= 150 - 138
= 12 min
12 min before 03 45 = 03 33
Time that Ben crossed the finishing line = 03 33
Answer(s): 03 33
