The question, in short

Two time and speed problems: find cycling time in hours and minutes after subtracting rests, and find Sonia's arrival time from distance and average speed.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.

Part (a) · 1 mark

Work out how many hours and minutes Bilal spends actually cycling between 3 pm and 5.38 pm, allowing for 25 minutes of rest.

  1. 13 pm to 5.38 pm = 2 hours 38 minutes
  2. 22 h 38 min − 25 min = 2 hours 13 minutes

Answer2 hours 13 minutes

Part (b) · 3 marks

Work out when Sonia arrives after walking 12 km at 5 km/h, leaving home at 10 25.

  1. 1Time = 12 ÷ 5 = 2.4 hours
  2. 20.4 hours = 0.4 × 60 = 24 minutes, so 2 h 24 min
  3. 310 25 + 2 h 24 min = 12 49

Answer12 49
