Jade 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 20 min.
- How long does Jade take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Jade spent the next 5 h 20 min in school before dismissal. If Jade started school at 08 25, 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 Jade's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 33 min - 20 min
= 93 min - 20 min
= 73 min
= 1 h 13 min
(b)
5 h 20 min after 08 25 = 13 45
13 45 = 1.45 p.m.
Time that Jade was dismissed from school: 1.45 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 13 min; (b) 1.45 p.m.
