Fanny usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 08 00, she will reach school at 09 57. Last week, a new MRT line has opened and she can take the train directly from home to school instead. This will shorten her journey by 14 min.
- How long does Fanny take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Fanny spent the next 5 h 25 min in school before dismissal. If Fanny started school at 09 05, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 08 00 to 09 57: 1 h 57 min
Duration of Fanny's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 57 min - 14 min
= 117 min - 14 min
= 103 min
= 1 h 43 min
(b)
5 h 25 min after 09 05 = 14 30
14 30 = 2.30 p.m.
Time that Fanny was dismissed from school: 2.30 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 43 min; (b) 2.30 p.m.
