Fiona usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 08 00, she will reach school at 09 37. 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 28 min.
- How long does Fiona take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Fiona spent the next 4 h 25 min in school before dismissal. If Fiona started school at 09 30, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 08 00 to 09 37: 1 h 37 min
Duration of Fiona's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 37 min - 28 min
= 97 min - 28 min
= 69 min
= 1 h 9 min
(b)
4 h 25 min after 09 30 = 13 55
13 55 = 1.55 p.m.
Time that Fiona was dismissed from school: 1.55 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 9 min; (b) 1.55 p.m.
