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

312 h |
Simon |
297 min |
Tim |

3 u = 297
1 u = 297 ÷ 3 = 99
Time taken by Tim
= 2 u
= 2 x 99
= 198 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Harry
= 3
12x 60
= 210 min
Difference in time
= 210 - 198
= 12 min
12 min before 02 35 = 02 23
Time that Tim crossed the finishing line = 02 23
Answer(s): 02 23
