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

Time taken |
Sam |
235 h |
Harry |
231 min |
Owen |

3 u = 231
1 u = 231 ÷ 3 = 77
Time taken by Owen
= 2 u
= 2 x 77
= 154 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Sam
= 2
35x 60
= 156 min
Difference in time
= 156 - 154
= 2 min
2 min before 03 25 = 03 23
Time that Owen crossed the finishing line = 03 23
Answer(s): 03 23
