Linda usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 05 00, she will reach school at 06 35. 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 23 min.
- How long does Linda take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Linda spent the next 3 h 35 min in school before dismissal. If Linda started school at 07 05, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 05 00 to 06 35: 1 h 35 min
Duration of Linda's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 35 min - 23 min
= 95 min - 23 min
= 72 min
= 1 h 12 min
(b)
3 h 35 min after 07 05 = 10 40
10 40 = 10.40 a.m.
Time that Linda was dismissed from school: 10.40 a.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 12 min; (b) 10.40 a.m.
