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

4 u = 284
1 u = 284 ÷ 4 = 71
Time taken by Japheth
= 3 u
= 3 x 71
= 213 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Archie
= 3
23x 60
= 220 min
Difference in time
= 220 - 213
= 7 min
7 min before 03 35 = 03 28
Time that Japheth crossed the finishing line = 03 28
Answer(s): 03 28
