Question

Kathy catches the 0729 train from preston.

She arrives in nuneaton on time, 0852.
She attends a job interview.
She gets back to nuneation station 1hr 50mins later.
Is she back in time to catch the 1028 train? You must show your working out.

Answer 1

To determine if Kathy is back in time to catch the 1028 train, we need to calculate the time she returns to the Nuneaton station.

We know that Kathy arrives in Nuneaton at 0852 and her interview takes 1hr 50mins. We can calculate the time of her return by adding the duration of the interview to the time of her arrival.

0852 (time of arrival) + 01hr 50mins = 1042 (time of return)

We can see that Kathy returns to the Nuneaton station at 10:42, which is later than the 1028 train departure. So, Kathy is not back in time to catch the 1028 train.
