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

Time taken |
Bryan |
315 h |
Billy |
258 min |
Wesley |

3 u = 258
1 u = 258 ÷ 3 = 86
Time taken by Wesley
= 2 u
= 2 x 86
= 172 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Bryan
= 3
15x 60
= 192 min
Difference in time
= 192 - 172
= 20 min
20 min before 03 35 = 03 15
Time that Wesley crossed the finishing line = 03 15
Answer(s): 03 15
