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

| George |

5 u = 250
1 u = 250 ÷ 5 = 50
Time taken by George
= 4 u
= 4 x 50
= 200 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Simon
= 3
12x 60
= 210 min
Difference in time
= 210 - 200
= 10 min
10 min before 02 25 = 02 15
Time that George crossed the finishing line = 02 15
Answer(s): 02 15
