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

335 h |
Luke |
250 min |
Sam |

5 u = 250
1 u = 250 ÷ 5 = 50
Time taken by Sam
= 4 u
= 4 x 50
= 200 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Cole
= 3
35x 60
= 216 min
Difference in time
= 216 - 200
= 16 min
16 min before 02 35 = 02 19
Time that Sam crossed the finishing line = 02 19
Answer(s): 02 19
