The fifth place runner's time was 41 minutes.
Here's the steps I went through to get this answer:
Step 1: Subtract Johnny's running time to the winner's running time, which was 5 minutes faster than Johnny's running time.
34 - 5 = 29 <====
Step 2: Then you add the winner's running time (Which was 29 minutes) by 12 to get the fifth place runner's time, which was 41 minutes. (The reason you add is because the time for the fifth place runner's is slower, and in this race the person with the fastest time won)
29 + 12 = 41 <====
The answer in sentence form would be:
The fifth-place runner's time in the race was 41 minutes.
