Dana usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 07 00, she will reach school at 08 58. 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 26 min.
- How long does Dana take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Dana spent the next 4 h 45 min in school before dismissal. If Dana started school at 07 05, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 07 00 to 08 58: 1 h 58 min
Duration of Dana's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 58 min - 26 min
= 118 min - 26 min
= 92 min
= 1 h 32 min
(b)
4 h 45 min after 07 05 = 11 50
11 50 = 11.50 a.m.
Time that Dana was dismissed from school: 11.50 a.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 32 min; (b) 11.50 a.m.
