Wendy usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 05 00, she will reach school at 06 45. 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 9 min.
- How long does Wendy take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Wendy spent the next 8 h 35 min in school before dismissal. If Wendy started school at 09 15, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 05 00 to 06 45: 1 h 45 min
Duration of Wendy's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 45 min - 9 min
= 105 min - 9 min
= 96 min
= 1 h 36 min
(b)
8 h 35 min after 09 15 = 17 50
17 50 = 5.50 p.m.
Time that Wendy was dismissed from school: 5.50 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 36 min; (b) 5.50 p.m.
