Marion usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 05 00, she will reach school at 06 44. 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 14 min.
- How long does Marion take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Marion spent the next 8 h 10 min in school before dismissal. If Marion started school at 07 25, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 05 00 to 06 44: 1 h 44 min
Duration of Marion's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 44 min - 14 min
= 104 min - 14 min
= 90 min
= 1 h 30 min
(b)
8 h 10 min after 07 25 = 15 35
15 35 = 3.35 p.m.
Time that Marion was dismissed from school: 3.35 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 30 min; (b) 3.35 p.m.
