Zara usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 07 00, she will reach school at 08 35. 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 16 min.
- How long does Zara take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Zara spent the next 4 h 50 min in school before dismissal. If Zara started school at 07 10, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 07 00 to 08 35: 1 h 35 min
Duration of Zara's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 35 min - 16 min
= 95 min - 16 min
= 79 min
= 1 h 19 min
(b)
4 h 50 min after 07 10 = 12 00
12 00 = 12.00 p.m.
Time that Zara was dismissed from school: 12.00 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 19 min; (b) 12.00 p.m.
