Answer 2

Answer:

Answer is D: 31 minutes and 50 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Olympic record for marathon is - 2 hours 23 minutes and 14 seconds

Vincy's running time is-                2 hours 55 minutes and 4 seconds.

Now, to find out how much more is Vincy's time than the record, we must add each option with 2 hours, 23 minutes and 14 seconds.

A → 2 hours 23 minutes 14 seconds + 1 hour 32 minutes 10 seconds = 143.14 minutes + 92.10 minutes = 235.24 minutes (3 hours 55 minutes 24 seconds)

3 hours 55 minutes 24 seconds ≠ 2 hours 55 minutes 4 seconds

B → 2 hours 23 minutes 14 seconds + 32 minutes 50 seconds = 143.14 minutes + 32.50 minutes = 175.64 minutes (2 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds)

2 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds ≠ 2 hours, 55 minutes and 4 seconds

C → 2 hours 23 minutes 14 seconds + 32 minutes 10 seconds = 143.14 minutes + 32.10 minutes = 175.24 minutes (2 hours 55 minutes 24 seconds)

2 hours 55 minutes 24 seconds ≠ 2 hours, 55 minutes and 4 seconds

D → 2 hours 23 minutes 14 seconds + 31 minutes 50 seconds = 143.14 minutes + 31.50 minutes = 174.64 minutes (2 hours 55 minutes 4 seconds)

2 hours 55 minutes and 4 seconds = 2 hours, 55 minutes and 4 seconds
