Emma usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 08 00, she will reach school at 09 41. 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 5 min.
- How long does Emma take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Emma spent the next 3 h 30 min in school before dismissal. If Emma started school at 08 50, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 08 00 to 09 41: 1 h 41 min
Duration of Emma's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 41 min - 5 min
= 101 min - 5 min
= 96 min
= 1 h 36 min
(b)
3 h 30 min after 08 50 = 12 20
12 20 = 12.20 p.m.
Time that Emma was dismissed from school: 12.20 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 36 min; (b) 12.20 p.m.
