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

Henry |
272 min |
Tom |

2 u = 272
1 u = 272 ÷ 2 = 136
Time taken by Tom
= 1 u
= 1 x 136
= 136 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Cody
= 2
12x 60
= 150 min
Difference in time
= 150 - 136
= 14 min
14 min before 02 40 = 02 26
Time that Tom crossed the finishing line = 02 26
Answer(s): 02 26
