To find the duration of the race, we need to calculate the time difference between the start and finish times.

  1. Start time: 1:25 p.m.
  2. Finish time: 2:09 p.m.

Now, we'll break it down:

  • From 1:25 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. is 35 minutes (from 1:25 to 2:00).
  • From 2:00 p.m. to 2:09 p.m. is an additional 9 minutes.

Now, we can add those two durations together:

35 minutes + 9 minutes = 44 minutes

Thus, the race lasted for 44 minutes.
