Hazel usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 06 00, she will reach school at 07 50. 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 12 min.
- How long does Hazel take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Hazel spent the next 5 h 35 min in school before dismissal. If Hazel started school at 08 25, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 06 00 to 07 50: 1 h 50 min
Duration of Hazel's journey to go to school by the new MRT line
= 1 h 50 min - 12 min
= 110 min - 12 min
= 98 min
= 1 h 38 min
(b)
5 h 35 min after 08 25 = 14 00
14 00 = 2.00 p.m.
Time that Hazel was dismissed from school: 2.00 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 38 min; (b) 2.00 p.m.
