Hazel usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 08 00, she will reach school at 09 44. 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 17 min.
- How long does Hazel take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Hazel spent the next 4 h 40 min in school before dismissal. If Hazel 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 44: 1 h 44 min
Duration of Hazel's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 44 min - 17 min
= 104 min - 17 min
= 87 min
= 1 h 27 min
(b)
4 h 40 min after 08 15 = 12 55
12 55 = 12.55 p.m.
Time that Hazel was dismissed from school: 12.55 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 27 min; (b) 12.55 p.m.
