Hilda usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 06 00, she will reach school at 07 51. 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 25 min.
- How long does Hilda take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Hilda spent the next 7 h 50 min in school before dismissal. If Hilda started school at 08 45, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 06 00 to 07 51: 1 h 51 min
Duration of Hilda's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 51 min - 25 min
= 111 min - 25 min
= 86 min
= 1 h 26 min
(b)
7 h 50 min after 08 45 = 16 35
16 35 = 4.35 p.m.
Time that Hilda was dismissed from school: 4.35 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 26 min; (b) 4.35 p.m.
