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

3 u = 210
1 u = 210 ÷ 3 = 70
Time taken by John
= 2 u
= 2 x 70
= 140 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Cody
= 2
23x 60
= 160 min
Difference in time
= 160 - 140
= 20 min
20 min before 02 40 = 02 20
Time that John crossed the finishing line = 02 20
Answer(s): 02 20
