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

Simon |

2 u = 296
1 u = 296 ÷ 2 = 148
Time taken by Simon
= 1 u
= 1 x 148
= 148 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Howard
= 2
12x 60
= 150 min
Difference in time
= 150 - 148
= 2 min
2 min before 02 20 = 02 18
Time that Simon crossed the finishing line = 02 18
Answer(s): 02 18
