The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Ethan completed the race in
35 of the time taken by Tom. If Reggie reached the finishing line at 03 30, what time did Ethan cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.

Time taken |
Reggie |
225 h |
Tom |
230 min |
Ethan |

5 u = 230
1 u = 230 ÷ 5 = 46
Time taken by Ethan
= 3 u
= 3 x 46
= 138 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Reggie
= 2
25x 60
= 144 min
Difference in time
= 144 - 138
= 6 min
6 min before 03 30 = 03 24
Time that Ethan crossed the finishing line = 03 24
Answer(s): 03 24
