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

213 h |
George |
285 min |
Oscar |

5 u = 285
1 u = 285 ÷ 5 = 57
Time taken by Oscar
= 2 u
= 2 x 57
= 114 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Ethan
= 2
13x 60
= 140 min
Difference in time
= 140 - 114
= 26 min
26 min before 03 40 = 03 14
Time that Oscar crossed the finishing line = 03 14
Answer(s): 03 14
