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

Jenson |

2 u = 244
1 u = 244 ÷ 2 = 122
Time taken by Jenson
= 1 u
= 1 x 122
= 122 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Oscar
= 2
25x 60
= 144 min
Difference in time
= 144 - 122
= 22 min
22 min before 02 35 = 02 13
Time that Jenson crossed the finishing line = 02 13
Answer(s): 02 13
