Rachel usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 06 00, she will reach school at 07 52. 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 2 min.
- How long does Rachel take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Rachel spent the next 3 h 25 min in school before dismissal. If Rachel started school at 09 35, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 06 00 to 07 52: 1 h 52 min
Duration of Rachel's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 52 min - 2 min
= 112 min - 2 min
= 110 min
= 1 h 50 min
(b)
3 h 25 min after 09 35 = 13 00
13 00 = 1.00 p.m.
Time that Rachel was dismissed from school: 1.00 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 50 min; (b) 1.00 p.m.
