Roshel usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 06 00, she will reach school at 07 44. 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 3 min.
- How long does Roshel take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Roshel spent the next 6 h 45 min in school before dismissal. If Roshel started school at 07 30, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 06 00 to 07 44: 1 h 44 min
Duration of Roshel's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 44 min - 3 min
= 104 min - 3 min
= 101 min
= 1 h 41 min
(b)
6 h 45 min after 07 30 = 14 15
14 15 = 2.15 p.m.
Time that Roshel was dismissed from school: 2.15 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 41 min; (b) 2.15 p.m.
