Question

) A coach left London at 08 45 p.M. And arrived in Edinburgh the next day at 05 10 a.M. How long did the journey take? Give your answer in hours and minutes.

Answer 1

8 hrs 25 minutes

Explanation:

Given that :

Departure time from London = 08:45 p. M

Arrival time in Edinburgh = 05:10 a.m

Length of the journey :

Arrival time - departure time

08:45 pm - 12:00 midnight = 3 hrs 15 minutes

12:00 midnight - 5:10 am = 5 hours 10 minutes

Total time taken = (3 hours 15 minutes) + (5 hours 10 minutes)

Total time taken = [(3+5) hours + (15 + 10) minutes] = 8 hours 25 minutes

Hence,

05 : 10 a.m (next day) - 08:45 pm = 8 hrs 25 minutes
