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

5 u = 210
1 u = 210 ÷ 5 = 42
Time taken by Fred
= 3 u
= 3 x 42
= 126 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Owen
= 2
35x 60
= 156 min
Difference in time
= 156 - 126
= 30 min
30 min before 03 45 = 03 15
Time that Fred crossed the finishing line = 03 15
Answer(s): 03 15
