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

Time taken |
| Neave |
313 h |
| Howard |
222 min |
| Vincent |

6 u = 222
1 u = 222 ÷ 6 = 37
Time taken by Vincent
= 5 u
= 5 x 37
= 185 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Neave
= 3
13x 60
= 200 min
Difference in time
= 200 - 185
= 15 min
15 min before 02 45 = 02 30
Time that Vincent crossed the finishing line = 02 30
Answer(s): 02 30
