Hazel usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 08 00, she will reach school at 09 59. 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 6 min.
- How long does Hazel take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Hazel spent the next 4 h 45 min in school before dismissal. If Hazel started school at 08 45, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 08 00 to 09 59: 1 h 59 min
Duration of Hazel's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 59 min - 6 min
= 119 min - 6 min
= 113 min
= 1 h 53 min
(b)
4 h 45 min after 08 45 = 13 30
13 30 = 1.30 p.m.
Time that Hazel was dismissed from school: 1.30 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 53 min; (b) 1.30 p.m.
