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

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
