Min usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 06 00, she will reach school at 07 33. 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 4 min.
- How long does Min take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Min spent the next 5 h 25 min in school before dismissal. If Min started school at 09 20, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 06 00 to 07 33: 1 h 33 min
Duration of Min's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 33 min - 4 min
= 93 min - 4 min
= 89 min
= 1 h 29 min
(b)
5 h 25 min after 09 20 = 14 45
14 45 = 2.45 p.m.
Time that Min was dismissed from school: 2.45 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 29 min; (b) 2.45 p.m.
