Emily usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 06 00, she will reach school at 07 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 27 min.
- How long does Emily take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Emily spent the next 5 h 35 min in school before dismissal. If Emily started school at 08 15, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 06 00 to 07 43: 1 h 43 min
Duration of Emily's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 43 min - 27 min
= 103 min - 27 min
= 76 min
= 1 h 16 min
(b)
5 h 35 min after 08 15 = 13 50
13 50 = 1.50 p.m.
Time that Emily was dismissed from school: 1.50 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 16 min; (b) 1.50 p.m.
