Eva usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 08 00, she will reach school at 09 38. 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 Eva take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Eva spent the next 8 h 45 min in school before dismissal. If Eva started school at 08 15, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 08 00 to 09 38: 1 h 38 min
Duration of Eva's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 38 min - 4 min
= 98 min - 4 min
= 94 min
= 1 h 34 min
(b)
8 h 45 min after 08 15 = 17 00
17 00 = 5.00 p.m.
Time that Eva was dismissed from school: 5.00 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 34 min; (b) 5.00 p.m.
