The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Peter completed the race in
23 of the time taken by Michael. If Liam reached the finishing line at 01 30, what time did Peter cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.
Name |
Time taken |
Liam |
212 h |
Michael |
222 min |
Peter |

3 u = 222
1 u = 222 ÷ 3 = 74
Time taken by Peter
= 2 u
= 2 x 74
= 148 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Liam
= 2
12x 60
= 150 min
Difference in time
= 150 - 148
= 2 min
2 min before 01 30 = 01 28
Time that Peter crossed the finishing line = 01 28
Answer(s): 01 28
