The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Sam completed the race in
34 of the time taken by Julian. If Cole reached the finishing line at 02 45, what time did Sam cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.
Name |
Time taken |
Cole |
335 h |
Julian |
268 min |
Sam |

4 u = 268
1 u = 268 ÷ 4 = 67
Time taken by Sam
= 3 u
= 3 x 67
= 201 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Cole
= 3
35x 60
= 216 min
Difference in time
= 216 - 201
= 15 min
15 min before 02 45 = 02 30
Time that Sam crossed the finishing line = 02 30
Answer(s): 02 30
