Spoke to son Jon on Skype earlier today. He finished the marathon in a creditable 3 hours 40 mins. Thanks to all who have sponsored him and Carys for Cancer Research. Not too late to join in. Click here.
My solution is slightly different, but I think correct. Subtract 1/5 (one fifth) from 5 giving you 4 4/5 (four and four fifths or 4.8 in decimals). Then multiply 4 4/5 by 5 giving the final answer of 24.
