Jade usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 06 00, she will reach school at 07 53. 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 Jade take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Jade spent the next 6 h 35 min in school before dismissal. If Jade started school at 08 20, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 06 00 to 07 53: 1 h 53 min
Duration of Jade's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 53 min - 26 min
= 113 min - 26 min
= 87 min
= 1 h 27 min
(b)
6 h 35 min after 08 20 = 14 55
14 55 = 2.55 p.m.
Time that Jade was dismissed from school: 2.55 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 27 min; (b) 2.55 p.m.
