The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Liam completed the race in
34 of the time taken by Simon. If Nick reached the finishing line at 02 40, what time did Liam cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.

Time taken |
Nick |
312 h |
Simon |
248 min |
Liam |

4 u = 248
1 u = 248 ÷ 4 = 62
Time taken by Liam
= 3 u
= 3 x 62
= 186 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Nick
= 3
12x 60
= 210 min
Difference in time
= 210 - 186
= 24 min
24 min before 02 40 = 02 16
Time that Liam crossed the finishing line = 02 16
Answer(s): 02 16
