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

Riordan |
225 min |
Zeph |

5 u = 225
1 u = 225 ÷ 5 = 45
Time taken by Zeph
= 4 u
= 4 x 45
= 180 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Wesley
= 3
12x 60
= 210 min
Difference in time
= 210 - 180
= 30 min
30 min before 02 45 = 02 15
Time that Zeph crossed the finishing line = 02 15
Answer(s): 02 15
