Question

Mrs Van Roijen decides to abseil down the Shard in London. The journey down normally takes 33 minutes. However, on her way down, she stops for 18 minutes to take some photos. Eventually she arrives at the bottom of the Shard. Looking at her watch she sees that it is now 12:15. At what time did she set off? 11: 34

11: 24
11: 44
11: 54

Answer 1

11.24

Explanation:

If she arrived at 12.15, to find the time of departure we have to deduct 33 mins and the time she spent for photos,18 mins from this to get time of departure.

Total time spent for journey

33mins +18 mins = 51mins

time of departure = 12.15 - 51mins

so the time of departure is 11.24
