I think you might be missing a few words in the sentence “The winner of the race *used of Rocky’s* time to finish the race”.

I will solve up to what I can do.
the fraction 5/12 is equivalent to 25/60 (times it by 5). this would mean Rocky finished the race in 25 seconds. With that knowledge, you can get the fraction of the winner and find his seconds.
