Min usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 07 00, she will reach school at 08 41. 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 27 min.
- How long does Min take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Min spent the next 8 h 40 min in school before dismissal. If Min started school at 08 10, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 07 00 to 08 41: 1 h 41 min
Duration of Min's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 41 min - 27 min
= 101 min - 27 min
= 74 min
= 1 h 14 min
(b)
8 h 40 min after 08 10 = 16 50
16 50 = 4.50 p.m.
Time that Min was dismissed from school: 4.50 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 14 min; (b) 4.50 p.m.
