The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Luke completed the race in
56 of the time taken by Elijah. If Fred reached the finishing line at 02 35, what time did Luke cross the finishing line? Leave your answer in 24-hour clock.
Name |
Time taken |
Fred |
325 h |
Elijah |
216 min |
Luke |

6 u = 216
1 u = 216 ÷ 6 = 36
Time taken by Luke
= 5 u
= 5 x 36
= 180 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Fred
= 3
25x 60
= 204 min
Difference in time
= 204 - 180
= 24 min
24 min before 02 35 = 02 11
Time that Luke crossed the finishing line = 02 11
Answer(s): 02 11
