A car left Town A at 08 45 and arrived at Town B at 15 10. Find,
a) The time taken by the car for the whole journey,---
-------
1510 - 0845 = 1470 - 0845
1470
0845
-------------- Subtract
0625 = 6 hours 25 minutes
=============================
b) The distance between Town A and Town B, given that the speed of the car was 84 km/h.
d = r*t = 84*(6 + 25/60) = 504 + 35 = 539 kms
