Jaslyn usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 07 00, she will reach school at 08 43. 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 4 min.
- How long does Jaslyn take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Jaslyn spent the next 3 h 10 min in school before dismissal. If Jaslyn started school at 09 10, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 07 00 to 08 43: 1 h 43 min
Duration of Jaslyn's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 43 min - 4 min
= 103 min - 4 min
= 99 min
= 1 h 39 min
(b)
3 h 10 min after 09 10 = 12 20
12 20 = 12.20 p.m.
Time that Jaslyn was dismissed from school: 12.20 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 39 min; (b) 12.20 p.m.
