Nora usually takes a bus from her home to school. If she leaves home at 07 00, she will reach school at 08 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 Nora take to go school by the new MRT line?
- Nora spent the next 6 h 50 min in school before dismissal. If Nora started school at 09 35, at what time was she dismissed from school? Give your answer in the 12-hour clock format.
(a)
From 07 00 to 08 59: 1 h 59 min
Duration of Nora'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)
6 h 50 min after 09 35 = 16 25
16 25 = 4.25 p.m.
Time that Nora was dismissed from school: 4.25 p.m.
Answer(s): (a) 1 h 53 min; (b) 4.25 p.m.
