Kylie usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 05 00, she will reach school at 06 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 11 min.
- How long does Kylie take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Kylie spent the next 3 h 45 min in school before dismissal. If Kylie started school at 08 50, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 05 00 to 06 51: 1 h 51 min
Duration of Kylie's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 51 min - 11 min
= 111 min - 11 min
= 100 min
= 1 h 40 min
(b)
3 h 45 min after 08 50 = 12 35
12 35 = 12.35 p.m.
Time that Kylie was dismissed from school: 12.35 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 40 min; (b) 12.35 p.m.
