Sibusiso and Thabo go for a run. Sibusiso finishes first. His stopwatch shows 1:52:27. When Thabo finishes, the stopwatch shows 2:07:11. How much longer did Thabo take than Sibusiso?

To find out how much longer Thabo took than Sibusiso, we subtract Sibusiso’s time from Thabo’s time. Sibusiso’s time: 1:52:27 Thabo’s time: 2:07:11 Step 1: Convert both times to seconds. • Sibusiso’s time in seconds = (1 × 3600) + (52 × 60) + 27 = 3600 + 3120 + 27 = 6747 seconds • Thabo’s time in seconds = (2 × 3600) + (7 × 60) + 11 = 7200 + 420 + 11 = 7631 seconds Step 2: Find the difference in seconds. • Difference = 7631 seconds – 6747 seconds = 884 seconds Step 3: Convert 884 seconds back to minutes and seconds. • Minutes = 884 ÷ 60 = 14 minutes with a remainder • Seconds = 884 – (14 × 60) = 884 – 840 = 44 seconds Therefore, Thabo took 14 minutes and 44 seconds longer than Sibusiso.
