Pamela usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 06 00, she will reach school at 07 31. 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 5 min.
- How long does Pamela take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Pamela spent the next 6 h 35 min in school before dismissal. If Pamela started school at 07 30, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 06 00 to 07 31: 1 h 31 min
Duration of Pamela's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 31 min - 5 min
= 91 min - 5 min
= 86 min
= 1 h 26 min
(b)
6 h 35 min after 07 30 = 14 05
14 05 = 2.05 p.m.
Time that Pamela was dismissed from school: 2.05 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 26 min; (b) 2.05 p.m.
