Fiona usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 06 00, she will reach school at 07 51. 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 15 min.
- How long does Fiona take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Fiona spent the next 8 h 55 min in school before dismissal. If Fiona started school at 08 35, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 06 00 to 07 51: 1 h 51 min
Duration of Fiona's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 51 min - 15 min
= 111 min - 15 min
= 96 min
= 1 h 36 min
(b)
8 h 55 min after 08 35 = 17 30
17 30 = 5.30 p.m.
Time that Fiona was dismissed from school: 5.30 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 36 min; (b) 5.30 p.m.
