Question

Amy is catching a flight for London at 12:00 noon. Prior to leaving for the airport, she needs to allow 30 minutes for a shower and 30 minutes to finish packing last minute items. She also needs to give herself 1 hour to drive to the airport. If she needs to arrive for her international flight two hours before departure, then she needs to set her alarm to wake up by what time in order to be on schedule?

Answer 1

8:00am

Explanation:

Given that the departure time is 12:00 noon

let us calculate the time she takes to prepare herself

preparation time

shower= 30minutes

last minutes item= 30minutes

drive to airport= 1 hour= 60minutes

total time for preparation = 2 hours

2 hours before departure time is 12-2= 10:00 am

with 2 hours of preparation she needs to set the alarm by=10-2= 8:00am
