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

2310 h |
Cody |
242 min |
Luis |

2 u = 242
1 u = 242 ÷ 2 = 121
Time taken by Luis
= 1 u
= 1 x 121
= 121 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Zane
= 2
310x 60
= 138 min
Difference in time
= 138 - 121
= 17 min
17 min before 02 45 = 02 28
Time that Luis crossed the finishing line = 02 28
Answer(s): 02 28
